Representative Text

1 “What manner of man is this”
On the shores of Galilee?
Whose pow’r will bring the dead to life,
Will set the captive free.

Chorus:
His name is Jesus, His name is Jesus,
And He shall save His people from their sins;
His name is Jesus, His name is Jesus,
And He shall save His people from their sins.

2 “What manner of man is this?”
See! He gives the blind their sight,
They hail Him as the morning Star,
They call Him “Life and Light.” [Chorus]

3 “What manner of man is this?”
When He speaks the sea is calm,
The winds obey His mighty will,
His word can hush the storm. [Chorus]

4 “What manner of man is this,”
Who has died for love of men?
Was buried and the third day rose:
Who said He’d come again. [Chorus]

5 “What manner of man is this,”
\Who can cure the sin-sick soul?
Can touch the sinfulest and they
Are ev’ry whit made whole [Chorus]
