Hymn/Song Information

Christ Jesus my Lord from Heaven came

Christ Jesus my Lord
from Heaven came,
To save me from guilt
and sin and shame;
His death on the cross of Calvary
Brought pardon and gave me liberty.

I love Him because He first loved me,
He first loved me, He first loved me;
I love Him because He first loved me,
And died on the cross of Calvary.

He sweat drops of blood
in prayer for me,
Heartbroken in dark Gethsemane.
While angels from
blessèd realms of light
Gave strength to
His aching heart that night.

I love Him because He first loved me,
He first loved me, He first loved me;
I love Him because He first loved me,
And died on the cross of Calvary.

Up Calvary’s hill the cross He bore,
And for me a crown of thorns He wore;
They nailed Him upon the tree to die,
Then darkness came
over earth and sky.

I love Him because He first loved me,
He first loved me, He first loved me;
I love Him because He first loved me,
And died on the cross of Calvary.

My Lord who was slain
by sinful man,
A wonderful Friend to me has been;
He rose from the
tomb with victory,
And now I love Him who first loved me.

I love Him because He first loved me,
He first loved me, He first loved me;
I love Him because He first loved me,
And died on the cross of Calvary.
