Through Christ, God's holy son,

Who left his throne in heaven

And e'en death's anguish did not shun

That we might be forgiven.

How should our thoughts and deeds

Exalt this mighty friend,

Who died, yet lives and intercedes

And loves us to the end!

LOVE

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.—Ephesians 2:8.

Christ might have called the angels down

To bear him safe above,

To shield his brow from sorrow's crown,

From death's cold blight, and bitter frown,

Had it not been for love.

Our glorious King, our Prince of Peace,

Has left his throne above

To give our souls from sin release,

To make our pain and anguish cease,

And all because of love.
