Jesus the Christ of God

Verse 1

Jesus, the Christ of God, The Father's blessed Son; The Father's bosom thine abode, The Father's love thine own: Jesus, the Lamb of God,-- Who us from hell to raise Hast shed thy reconciling blood,-- We give thee endless praise!

Verse 2

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: Great sacrifice for sin, Giver of life for life, Restorer of the peace within, True ender of the strife.

Verse 3

To thee, the Christ of God, Thy saints exulting sing; The bearer of our heavy load, Our own anointed King: Rest of the weary, thou, To thee, our rest, we come; In thee to find our dwelling now, Our everlasting home.
