Of Him who left his home above
And came to earth—oh, wondrous plan—

For Jesus died on Calvary,
That all thru him might ransomed be.
Then sing hosannas to his name;
Let heav’n and earth his love proclaim.

And, in his own appointed way,
Partake the emblems of his death,
And thus renew our love and faith. [Chorus]
