Verse 1
When love came down to earth
And made His home with men
The hopeless found a hope
The sinner found a friend
Not to the powerful
But to the poor He came
And humble hungry hearts
Were satisfied again
Chorus:
What joy what peace has come to us
What hope what help what love
Verse 2
When ev'ry unclean thought
And ev'ry sinful deed
Was scourged upon His back
And hammered through His feet
The innocent is cursed
The guilty are released
The punishment of God
On God has bought me peace Chorus
Verse 3
Come lay your heavy load
Down at the Master's feet
Your shame will be removed
Your joy will be complete
Come crucify your pride
And enter as a child
For those who bow down low
He'll lift up to His side Chorus
(Ending)
What love
