A Man There Lived in Galilee

Verse 1

A man there lived in Galilee like none who lived before, for he alone from first to last our flesh unblemished wore; a perfect life of perfect deeds once to the world was shown, that people all might mark his steps and in them plant their own.

Verse 2

A man there died on Calvary above all others brave; the human race he saved and blessed, himself he scorned to save. No thought can gauge the weight of woe on him, the sinless, laid; we only know that with his blood our ransom price was paid.

Verse 3

A man there reigns in glory now, divine, yet human still; that human which is all divine death sought in vain to kill. All pow'r is his; supreme he rules the realms of time and space; yet still our human cares and needs find in his heart a place.
