Jesus, Once of Humble Birth

The Children Sing, 15


1. Jesus, once of humble birth, Now in glory comes to earth. Once he suffered grief and pain; Now he comes on earth to reign; Now he comes on earth to reign.

2. Once a meek and lowly Lamb, Now the Lord, the great I Am; Once upon the cross he bowed, Now his chariot is the cloud; Now his chariot is the cloud.

3. Once he groaned in blood and tears; Now in glory he appears; Once rejected by his own, Now their King he shall be known; Now their King he shall be known.

4. Once forsaken, left alone, Now exalted to a throne; Once all things he meekly bore, But he now will bear no more; But he now will bear no more.
