Jesus, the Christ of God

Jesus

the Christ of God

The Fa­ther’s bless­èd Son

The Fa­ther’s bo­som Thine ab­ode

The Fa­ther’s love Thine own.

Jesus

the Lamb of God

Who us from hell to raise

Hast shed Thy re­con­cil­ing blood;

We give Thee end­less praise.

God

and yet man

Thou art

True God

true man art Thou;

Of man

and of man’s earth a part

One with us Thou art now.

Great sac­ri­fice for sin

Giver of life for life

Restorer of the peace with­in

True end­er of the strife.

To Thee

the Christ of God

Thy saints ex­ult­ing sing;

The bear­er of our hea­vy load

Our own an­oint­ed king.

True lov­er of the lost

From Heav’n Thou cam­est down

To pay for souls the right­eous cost

And claim them for Thine own.

Rest of the wea­ry

Thou!

To Thee

our rest

we come;

In Thee to find our dwell­ing now

Our ev­er­last­ing home.
