1 Jesus, the Christ of God,
The Father’s blessèd Son,
The Father’s bosom Thine abode,
The Father’s love Thine own.
2 Jesus, the Lamb of God,
Who us from hell to raise
Hast shed Thy reconciling blood;
We give Thee endless praise.
3 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.
4 Great sacrifice for sin,
Giver of life for life,
Restorer of the peace within,
True ender of the strife.
5 To Thee, the Christ of God,
Thy saints exulting sing;
The bearer of our heavy load,
Our own anointed king.
6 True lover of the lost,
From Heav’n Thou camest down,
To pay for souls the righteous cost,
And claim them for Thine own.
7 Rest of the weary, Thou!
To Thee, our rest, we come;
In Thee to find our dwelling now,
Our everlasting home.
