Why did the Lord of glory
Leave His heavβnly home,
To come to earth and suffer here
For wrongs He had not done?
Why did He go to Calvβry
To bear the shame and loss,
And give His life for sinners vile
Upon thβ accursed cross?
Why?β¦Because He loved us,
And longed that we might be
His very own β not only now,
But through eternity.
