The Light of the World

Passion

On a cross upon Cal’vry He died,

Jesus Christ, Holy Lamb of our God;

The beloved heir of the Most High,

Like a criminal he was despised!

REFRAIN

He now dwells at the right hand of God,

Jesus Christ our dear Savior and Lord!

He has triumphed o'er death, o'er all foes!

Christ now reigns; He in vict'ry arose!

2nd Verse

What great pain he endured on the cross:

Jesus suffered and died for our cause;

He stayed faithful and loyal remained

That all sinners for God should be gained!

3rd Verse

I will speak of this story of love;

To this world so ungodly and lost,

Jesus Christ at the right hand of God

Lives and reigns for the cent'ries, amen!

4th Verse

I will see Christ our Lord face to face,

Reunited in Heaven by grace;

Endless joy, glory without compare,

There forever with Him I will reign!
