From on high you humbly came
Made blind to see and healed the lame
Upon yourself you took the blame
And bore our weaknesses and shame

Yours is true and total love
Reflecting our Holy Father above
Who's spirit came to you as a dove
You fit his will like a glove

Our Father's love you did teach
And to the masses you did preach
Into our lives you did reach
And all evil you did impeach

For us the Enemy you have fought
Our salvation by your blood was bought
You suffered, died and muttered nought
Our Father's will you meekly sought

Oh Most Holy Son of God
Upon the Enemy you do trod
And fulfilled the word, the iron rod
And everyone, by you, is awed

Of your holiness and your power
We proclaim from every tower
You grant salvation in this hour
Demons in your presence cower

Never more a hopeless end
You are our brother and our friend
Our immortal lives you do defend
A way to our Father we depend

You are our ardent advocate
And by your love you won't forget
As goodness in us you do beset
And forgive us that which we regret

Though your suffering was most dire
Repentance is all that you require
Granting us that, which we aspire
And saving us from eternal fire

Granting us life with our Lord
You've cleared a path we can afford
Our bonds you cut with a sword
Angels praise you in accord
