When love came down to earth and made His home with men,
The hopeless found a hope, the sinner found a friend.
Not to the powerful, but to the poor He came,
And humble hungry hearts were satisfied in Him.
What joy, what peace has come to us!
What hope, what help, what love!
When every unclean thought and every sinful deed
Was scourged upon His back and hammered through His feet,
The innocent is cursed, the guilty are released.
The punishment of God on God has brought me peace.
Come lay your heavy load down at the Master's feet.
Your shame will be removed, your joy will be complete.
Come crucify your pride and enter as a child,
For those who bow down low, He'll lift up to his side.
What joy, what peace has come to us!
What hope, what help, what love!
