Ode to Christ



‘Neath starlit skies to manger bed,

You came to dwell where Love has led.

You walked the earth with healing hands,

Your Grace met all the law's demands. 

A quiet strength in every word

The greatest Truth the world e'er heard.

You taught the heart to first forgive,

And showed us how we ought to live. 


Jesus, Jesus Christ our Lord

Give us faith to trust you more!


The heavy cross You meekly bore,

To open wide the heavenly door.

Through darkest night and deepest pain,

You broke the power of death’s reign

Our risen King conquered the grave

Our Shepherd is the One who saves.

Your Gospel brings enduring peace 

The news of freedom and release!


Jesus, One that we adore

Give us strength to serve you more!


A steadfast anchor for the soul,

Your boundless mercy makes us whole. 

Beacon of love, wisdom, and light, 

We celebrate your sacrifice, 

Let every voice, let every breath,

Praise Him who triumphed over death.

Our truth, our life, our endless peace,

Your boundless love shall never cease.

 

Jesus Jesus blessed Lord

Give us grace to love you more!
