When God came and lived among us
We could see His glory shine
A glory like no one before Him
Nor will be through endless time
Far beyond the power of angels
Wholy God, and wholly man
So full of grace and truth and mercy
With a Shepherd's gentle hands
Moses gave the Law to bind us
The prophets spoke just as they had heard
But Jesus came and lived among us
And we touched the living word
Seeing Jesus, we saw the Father
The great Physician, the sinner's friend
Loving all who would receive Him
And He loved us to the end
Virgin born, the son of David
By jealous hatred was crucified
Oh, but the grave just could not hold Him
And He arose, no more to die
Rising Son of life unbounded
The light of all, whoever see
And from His overflowing bounty
Grace on grace He gave to you and me
When Jesus came and lived among us
We could see His glory shine
When He ascended unto the Father
He made that glory yours and mine
The promised power, His Holy Spirit
Has come to make our hearts His home
To shine the righteous light of Jesus
Until He comes back to claim His own
'Til He comes back to claim His own
