When Love Came Down

V1 When love came down to earth And made His home with men The hopeless found a hope, The sinner found a friend Not to the powerful, but to the poor He came And humble, hungry hearts were satisfied again CH What joy, what peace has come to us What hope, what help, what love V2 When every unclean thought, And every sinful deed Was scourged upon His back And hammered through His feet The innocent is cursed, The guilty are released The punishment of God, On God has bought me peace V3 Come lay your heavy load, Down at the master’s feet Your shame will be removed Your joy will be complete Come crucify your pride And enter as a child For those who bow down low, He’ll lift up to His side
