585. When Christ Was Lifted From the Earth
- English
- Lyrics
- Key D
- Hymn 585
Verse 1
When Christ was lifted from the earth
His arms stretched out above
Through every culture, every birth,
To draw an answering love.
Verse 1
Still east and west His love extends
And always, near or far,
He calls and claims us as
His friends and loves us as we are.
Verse 2
Where generation, class,
Or race divides us to our shame,
He sees not labels but a face,
A person and a name.
Verse 3
Thus freely loved, tho’ fully known,
May I in Christ be free
To welcome and accept
His own as Christ accepted me.
