For Us, O Lord, Thou Camest From On High

For I am come down from heaven, not that I should do *my* will, but the will of him that has sent me. John 6:38

Thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation. Hebrews 9:28

  1. John 6:38, John 12:27For us, O Lord, Thou camest from on high,

    Luke 2:12,16, Acts 5:20And from the manger to the cross didst go;

    Mark 8:31, 1 Peter 2:21Through suff'ring Thou didst win the victory,

    1 Peter 2:24And on the tree Thou barest all our woe.

  2. Luke 22:41-44, John 14:33Unfathomed anguish, and distress untold,

    Matthew 26:39, Hebrews 12:2From Thy heart's object turned Thee now away;

    Matthew 26:38, Mark 14:34Grief, e'en to death, upon Thy spirit rolled:

    Matthew 26:39, Luke 14:36Thou chosest still, blest Saviour, to obey.

  3. John 10:15,17, Isaiah 53:4Thy life laid down, our sorrows Thou didst bear,

    Ephesians 5:2, Hebrews 9:28A priceless off'ring all our thoughts above!

    Titus 2:14, 2 Corinthians 8:9Thou gav'st Thyself in grace beyond compare,

    Galatians 2:20, Ephesians 5:2Reserving nothing save the right to love.

  4. Hebrews 12:2, Psalms 30:5But joy now reigns, Thy suff'rings all are o'er;

    Mark 16:19, Philippians 2:9Lord, Thou art ris'n, enthroned in glory bright;

    Matthew 28:20, 1 Peter 1:18And Thy redeemed ones know for evermore

    Matthew 28:20, Ephesians 2:17Thy peace and love, unchanging, infinite!

  5. Hebrews 13:8, Song of Songs 8:7Unquenched by death, eternal, still the same,

    2 Thessalonians 2:16, Ephesians 3:19Living and ever precious is Thy love!

    John 14:2,3, Revelation 22:20Soon Thou shalt come Thy ransomed saints to claim

    1 Thessalonians 4:17, John 14:3To be with Thee for evermore above.
