A Man there lived in Galilee — Lyrics
A Man there lived in Galilee
unlike all men before,
for he alone from first to last
our flesh unsullied wore;
a perfect life of perfect deeds
once to the world was shown,
that all mankind might mark his steps
and in them plant their own.
A Man there died on Calvary
above all others brave;
his fellowmen he saved and blessed,
himself he scorned to save.
