When Jesus Came To Earth Of Old

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13078 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to earth of old, He came in weakness and woe; He wore no form of angel mold, But took our nature poor and low. 2 But when He cometh back once more, There shall be set the great white throne, And earth and Heav’n shall flee before The face of Him that sits thereon. 3 O Son of God, in glory crowned, The Judge ordained of quick and dead; O Son of Man, so pitying found, For all the tears Thy people shed, 4 Be with us in this darkened place, This weary, restless dangerous night; And teach, O teach us by Thy grace, To struggle onward into light. 5 And since, in God’s recording book, Our sins are written, every one, The crime, the wrath, the wandering look, The good we knew, and left undone. 6 Lord, ere the last dread trump be heard, And ere before Thy face we stand, Look Thou on each accusing word, And blot it with Thy bleeding hand. 7 And by the love that brought Thee here, And by the cross, and by the grave, Give perfect love for conscious fear, And in the day of judgment save. 8 And lead us on while here we stray, And make us love our heav’nly home, Till from our hearts we love to say, "Even so, Lord Jesus, quickly come."
