Verse 1
Christ, the true and better Adam
Son of God and Son of man
Who, when tempted in the garden
Never yielded, never sinned.
He, who makes the many righteous
Brings us back to life again!
Dying, He reversed the curse, then
Rising, crushed the serpent’s head!

Verse 2
Christ, the true and better Isaac
Humble son of sacrifice.
Who would climb the fearful mountain,
There to offer up His life.
Laid with faith upon the altar
Father’s joy and only Son.
There salvation was provided,
Oh, what full and boundless love!

Chorus
Amen! Amen!
From beginning to end
Christ the story, His the glory
Alleluia! Amen!

Verse 3
Christ, the true and better Moses
Called to lead a people home.
Standing bold to earthly powers,
God’s great glory to be known.
With His arms stretched wide to heaven,
See the waters part in two,
See the veil is torn forever,
Cleansed with blood we pass now through!

Chorus
Amen! Amen!
From beginning to end
Christ the story, His the glory
Alleluia! Amen!

Verse 4
Christ, the true and better David
Lowly shepherd, mighty king.
He the champion in the battle,
Where, o death, is now thy sting?
In our place He bled and conquered
Crown Him Lord of majesty!
His shall be the throne forever,
We shall e’er His people be.

Chorus
Amen! Amen!
From beginning to end
Christ the story, His the glory
Alleluia! Amen!

Amen! Amen!
From beginning to end
Christ the story, His the glory
Alleluia! Amen!

Christ the story, His the glory
Alleluia! Amen!
