Christ became and took on himself the pain and stain
So that when I, from sin refrain
Can glorify the father with him in plain
And so that the evidence of his work on the mountain
Is seen by all again and again

As he freed man from brass and chain
That kept both old and young in deign
By giving us his son in profuse fain
So that right in his domain
We can wine and dine from his fountain

Therefore now here is his gain
To see us maintain
The life that in him we obtain
And also to see us reign
In the dominion and power now flowing in our vein
