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.
