Representative Text

1 Jesus came, Jesus came,
Born a little child for me;
To this world of sin and shame
Came, from sin to set me free:
He who all the world did frame,
Laid aside his majesty;
Jesus came, Jesus came,
Born a little bade for me.

2 Jesus died, Jesus died,
Died a cruel death for me;
For my sake was crucified,
Hanging on the cursed tree:
Pierced hands and bleeding side,
Wounded for my sake I see;
Jesus died, Jesus died,
Died upon the cross for me.

3 Jesus rose, Jesus rose,
Left the gloomy grave for me;
Gained the vict'ry o'er my foes,
Conquer'd the last enemy;
Peaceful I shall sleep in death
Till his call shall set me free.
Jesus rose, Jesus rose,
Rose and left the grave for me.

4 Jesus lives, Jesus lives,
Ever lives to plead for me--
Day by day my sin forgives,
Grants me grace his child to be;
When immortal life he gives,
I shall rise his face to see:
Jesus lives, Jesus lives,
Lives to intercede for me.

Kingsbury, Howard. This name is associated with the popular hymn in days gone by, "Come, let us all unite and sing, God is love!" (God is Love), but concerning the same we have failed to gain any information. We know personally that the hymn was in common use nearly forty years ago (circa 1850). --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)  Go to person page >
