God incarnate, Jesus came

God incarnate, Jesus came

Author: John W. Peterson
Tune: DOUGLAS (Peterson)
CCLI Number: 214888
Published in 2 hymnals

Representative Text

1 God incarnate, Jesus came,
Sinful mankind to reclaim;
Born to save us from our sin,
Born to give us life within.

2 God incarnate, Jesus died,
On the cross was crucified;
Paid the sin-debt so that we
Could be pardoned full and free.

3 God incarnate, Christ arose,
Conquered death and all our foes;
Banished all our fear and dread,
Gave us peace and hope instead.
