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

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.

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

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

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