Jesus, the Christ of God,
The Father's blesséd Son!
The Father’s bosom thine abode,
The Father’s love thine own.
Jesus, the Lamb of God,
Who, us from hell did raise,
Hast shed thy reconciling blood,
We give thee endless praise.
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.
To thee, the Christ of God,
Thy saints exulting sing-—
The bearer of our heavy load,
Our own anointed King.
