1 God incarnate, Jesus came,
Sinful mankind to reclaim;
Born to save us from our sin,
Born to give us life within.
2 God incarnate, Jesus died,
On the cross was crucified;
Paid the sin-debt so that we
Could be pardoned full and free.
3 God incarnate, Christ arose,
Conquered death and all our foes;
Banished all our fear and dread,
Gave us peace and hope instead.
