Lyrics:
Pure and holy Son of God,
Taking on the form of man;
Left the glory of His throne,
Came to bring salvation’s plan.
Righteous Father, Holy One,
Looking down on us in Love;
Gave to us His only Son,
Sent with blessings from above.But we took Him and we nailed Him
to a cross made of wood
And we raised it high and dropped it
in the ground where it stood
And the blood that flowed to the earth below
Bought forgiveness for the world
that had treated Him so.“Peace on earth, Good will to men,”
At His birth the angels sang,
Love and mercy from the throne
Through the earth his message rang.But we took Him and we nailed Him
to a cross made of wood
And we raised it high and dropped it
in the ground where it stood
And the blood that flowed to the earth below
Bought forgiveness for the world
that had treated Him so.He came in love to bring us light in our darkness,
He came in peace to bring release from our pain;
He came with joy to bring us rest in our weariness,
He came in love to bring us beauty again.
