{Verse 1}
E E/G# A
When love came down to earth
B E
And made His home with men,
E/G# A
The hopeless found a hope
B E
The sinner found a friend.
E/G#
Not to the powerful
B C#m7
But to the poor He came,
E/G# A
And humble, hungry hearts
B E
Were satisfied again.
{Chorus}
E/G# Amaj7 B6 C#m7 B6 Amaj7 B6 C#m7
What joy, what peace has come to us!
B6 Amaj7 B6 C#m7 B6 Amaj7
What hope, what help, what love!
{Verse 2}
E E/G# A
When every unclean thought,
B E
And every sinful deed
E/G# A
Was scourged upon His back
B E
And hammered through His feet.
E/G#
The innocent is cursed,
B C#m7
The guilty are released,
E/G# A
The punishment of God,
B E
On God, has brought me peace.
[Repeat Chorus]
{Verse 3}
E E/G# A
Come lay your heavy load
B E
Down at the Master's feet,
E/G# A
Your shame will be removed.
B E
Your joy will be complete
E/G#
Come crucify your pride,
B C#m7
And enter as a child;
E/G# A
For those who bow down low
B E
He'll lift up to His side.
[Repeat Chorus]
{Ending}
E D/E C#m/E E
What love!
