Lyrics

Who came down from Heav’n to earth?
Jesus Christ our Sav­ior;
Came a child of low­ly birth?
Jesus Christ our Sav­ior.

Refrain

Sound the chor­us loud and clear,
He hath brought sal­va­tion near;
None so pre­cious, none so dear:
Jesus Christ our Sav­ior.

Who was lift­ed on the tree?
Jesus Christ our Sav­ior;
There to ran­som you and me?
Jesus Christ our Sav­ior.

Refrain

Who hath pro­mised to for­give?
Jesus Christ our Sav­ior.
Who hath said, Be­lieve and live?
Jesus Christ our Sav­ior.

Refrain

Who is now en­throned above?
Jesus Christ our Sav­ior;
Whom should we ob­ey and love?
Jesus Christ our Sav­ior.

Refrain

Who again from Heav’n shall come?
Jesus Christ our Sav­ior;
Take to glo­ry all His own?
Jesus Christ our Sav­ior.
