1 Gentle and lowly,
Loving and holy,
Jesus descended to dwell among men,
From sin to save us,
Himself He gave us,
And to our Father restored us again.

2 Tender and gracious,
With love most precious,
Pardon He purchased at infinite cost;—
Took our transgression,
Made our confession,
Pour’d out His life to recover the lost.

3 Precious salvation!
No condemnation!
We are redeemed by the blood of the Son;
Fall ye before Him;
Love Him, adore Him;
Give Him the glory for all He has done.
