| 1 | Jesus who lives above the sky, |
| Came down to be a man and die, |
| And in the Bible we may read |
| His love to those who were in need. |
|
| 2 | He went about—He was so kind— |
| To cure poor people who were blind; |
| And many who were sick and lame, |
| He pitied them and did the same. |
|
| 3 | And more than that, He told them too |
| The things that God would have them do; |
| And was so gentle and so mild, |
| He would have listened to a child. |
|
| 4 | He knew how wicked man had been, |
| And knew that God must punish sin; |
| So out of pity Jesus said |
| He'd bear the punishment instead. |
|
| 5 | But such a cruel death He died! |
| He was hung up and crucified; |
| And those kind hands that did such good, |
| They nailed them to a cross of wood. |
|
| 6 | And so He died, and rose again; |
| He lives on high at God's right hand; |
| Soon He'll return for us from heaven— |
| For those whose sins have been forgiven. |
