HE'S COME! THE SAVIOUR HAS COME, by                    
First Line: At what a great cost god gave to the world
Last Line: "he's come! The saviour has come!"
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


At what a great cost God gave to the world,
His Son, His wonderful Son!
But how many walk in darkness today,
As though He had never come;
As though He had never been born at all,
And never had left the throne
To walk in humility here upon earth,
And die on the cross alone.

Oh, it's not only those in faraway lands
Who never have heard of His birth,
But many who celebrate Christmas each year
Have failed to discover its worth;
So busy with giving they never have found
The joy that His love can bestow,
The gift of His Son, in your heart and mine,
Cleansing us whiter than snow.

Oh, let us accept Him, God's wonderful Son,
As our personal Saviour today;
He seems to be calling as never before
To us, and to those far away,
Let us claim for ourselves His undying love,
And thank Him for what He has done,
That the light in our lives may sing to the world,
"He's come! The Saviour has come!"
