Oh Jesus, when You came to save us
Obedient, not a sin to trace,
Your life you lived so pure and precious.
The Father smiled upon your face:
"This is My Son in Whom I'm pleased!"
Through You His wrath is set at ease!
You died for all to ease God's anger.
You resurrected from the dead.
Abandoned by Your righteous Father
Sweet justice stained in holy red.
Sin, what You hate, that You became.
For all you live to cover blame!
Lord, now You come still by the Spirit
Through Word and Holy Sacrament!
Forgiveness is what we inherit
When faith receives what God has sent:
His only Son. Oh Lord, we pray
That you be near us everyday!
