Author: Somerset Corry Lowry, 1855-1932 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #28 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: 1 Peter 2:21-22 Lyrics: 1 A man there lived in Galilee
like none who lived before,
for he alone from first to last
our flesh unblemished wore;
a perfect life of perfect deeds
once to the world was shown,
that people all might mark his steps
and in them plant their own.
2 A man there died on Calvary
above all others brave;
the human race he saved and blessed,
himself he scorned to save.
No thought can gauge the weight of woe
on him, the sinless, laid;
we only know that with his blood
our ransom price was paid.
3 A man there reigns in glory now,
divine, yet human still;
that human which is all divine
death sought in vain to kill.
All pow'r is his; supreme he rules
the realms of time and space;
yet still our human cares and needs
find in his heart a place. Topics: Year A Christmas 1; Year A Easter 4; Year A Palm Sunday: Liturgy of the Passion; Year A Trinity Sunday; Years A, B, and C Presentation of Christ in the Temple Languages: English Tune Title: TYROL
