Jesus Once of Humble Birth
Jesus once of humble birth,
Now in glory comes to earth;
Once he suffered grief and pain
Now he comes on earth to reign.
Once he groaned in blood and tears
Now in glory he appears;
Once rejected by his own
Now their king he shall become.
Once forsaken, left alone
Now exalted to a throne;
Once all things he meekly bore
But he now will bear no more.
