the King of kings, and Lord of lords,
and heaven’s eternal Light;

with all its grace, is given;

they reign with him above,

outside a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
what pains he had to bear;
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin;
he only could unlock the gate
of heaven and let us in.
5 O dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Languages: English Tune Title: HORSLEY
