Jesus, Once of Humble Birth

View/print sheet music:     SATB w/flute obbligato

Lyrics by Parley P. Pratt; Music by Giacomo Meyerbeer; Arranged by Sally DeFord

    Lyrics:
    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 upon the cross he bowed
    Now his chariot is the cloud

    Jesus, once of humble birth
    Now in glory comes to earth
    Once rejected by his own
    Now their King he shall be known

    This song is part of the Jesus, Once of Humble Birth cantata. Because of this, the pages are numbered 39-43.
