He came down that we may have peace,
Hallelujah for evermore.

He came down that we may have joy;
He came down that we may have joy,
Hallelujah for evermore.

He came down that we may have hope;
He came down that we may have hope,
Hallelujah for evermore.

He came down that we may have life;
He came down that we may have life,
Hallelujah for evermore.
