16093. I Know Him

1 It was Jesus from beginning,
Who devised salvation’s plan;
By His love, His blest compassion,
He atoned for sinful man.

Refrain:
I know Him, O I know Him!
He was God in form of man;
I know Him, yes, I know Him,
For He wrought redemption’s plan.

2 Full of tenderness and pity,
In the garden He did bow;
Had men known the Lord of glory,
Thorns could ne’er have pricked His brow. [Refrain]

3 In His flesh our God did suffer,
Hear them murmur Crucify!
By His own was He forsaken
When He brought redemption nigh. [Refrain]

4 Jesus’ name to us is given,
He’s the true, the living way;
He’s the only door to Heaven,
He is all our hope today. [Refrain]
