I will tell the precious story,
And proclaim the wondrous love
Of my Saviour now in glory,
Seated on His throne above;
Once He came, despised, rejected,
Everlasting life to bring;
Now exalted Prince and Saviour—
He is Salem’s mighty King!
He is Jesus crucified;
For a ruined world He died;
Now He reigns in heaven for ever
With the saved and glorified.
Though His name is high and holy,
And His kingdom so secure,
Yet He dwells with all the lowly,
If their hearts are only pure;
Never yet was love so tender,
Never promise half so sweet;
Peace He gives when we surrender,
Sitting meekly at His feet.
He is Jesus crucified;
For a ruined world He died;
Now He reigns in heaven for ever
With the saved and glorified.
When by sin and anguish driven
With our needs before the throne,
If we ask for bread from heaven,
Will He give to us a stone?
No: He’ll hear our sad repining,
For He feels our every woe;
And will pour us out a blessing,
That will surely overflow.
He is Jesus crucified;
For a ruined world He died;
Now He reigns in heaven for ever
With the saved and glorified.
Do you fear the coming morrow,
With its crosses yet unknown?
Have you any care or sorrow
That you cannot bear alone?
Do not yield to sad complaining,
All your burdens on Him cast;
Let your light be ever shining,
Faith will bring you home at last.
He is Jesus crucified;
For a ruined world He died;
Now He reigns in heaven for ever
With the saved and glorified.
