When Jesus was born in the manger
The shepherds came thither to see
For the angels proclaimed
That a Savior was born
To save a poor sinner like me.
To save a poor sinner
He was wounded for my transgressions
Acquainted with sorrow was He;
In the garden He prayed
And sweat great drops of blood
He was brought to Pilate for judgment
He was sentenced to hang on a tree.
It is finished! He cried
When He suffered and died
But death and the grave could not hold Him
He burst them asunder for thee.
On the third day He rose
In spite of His foes
I’m fighting my passage to Heaven
O’er death I shall conqueror be.
Then to glory I’ll fly
And shout through the sky:
He saved a poor sinner like me.
