Hymn 187
7's
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 a meek and lowly lamb -
Now the Lord, the great I AM;
Once with thieves was crucified -
Now on yonder cloud he rides.
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.
