585 – When Christ Was Lifted From the Earth

1

When Christ was lifted from the earth

His arms stretched out above

Through every culture, every birth,

to draw an answering love.

 

2

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.

 

3

Where generation, class,

or race divides us to our shame,

He sees not labels but a face,

a person and a name.

 

4

Thus freely loved, tho’ fully known, may

I in Christ be free

To welcome and accept

His own as Christ accepted me.
