What Did It Mean?

What did it mean when Jesus came
Down from His home of light
Laying aside His glory there
Entering this dark night
Taking the form of sinful men
Sharing our want and woe
Having not where to lay His head
Hated yet loving so?

( Chorus )
What did it mean when Jesus wrought
All of His deeds of might
Healing the ills and pains of men
Giving the blind their sight
Raising the dead to life again
Feeding the multitude
Spending His life, His wondrous life
Only in doing good?
( Chorus )
What did it mean when Jesus died
Hanging on Calvary?
Heaven and earth were joined in grief
Dying like His to see!
Lips that were filled with blessing once
Parched with His failing breath
He that was holy, harmless, pure
Dying a sinner's death!
( Chorus )
What did it mean when Jesus rose
Up from His dreamless bed?
Death and the grave forever past
Finished atonement made!
Glorious victory of grace
Infinite reach of love!
Wonder of men and angels, too
Theme of the saints above!
( Chorus )

Chorus:
What did it mean
O what did it mean?
None surely ever
loved as He
What did it mean
to Jesus my Lord
And what does it
mean to me?
