HE BECAME POOR ... CONTINUED

Thanks to my cousin, Karen, we now have the other verses of the hymn "He Became Poor". Here they are.

They borrowed a colt--lowly beast for a King, Jesus, my Saviour

No court gave Him honor, no carillons ring for Jesus, my Lord.

His were the planets and stars in the sky;

His were the valleys and mountains so high;

His, all earth's riches from pole unto pole,

But He became poor to ransom my soul.

He borrowed a room for the Passover Feast, Jesus my Saviour;

Becoming both Servant and Heavenly Priest, this Jesus, my Lord.

His were the planets and stars in the sky;

His were the valleys and mountains so high;

His, all earth's riches from pole unto pole,

But He became poor to ransom my soul.

They borrowed a tomb for the Crucified One, Jesus, my Saviour

No monument royal for God's only Son for Jesus, my Lord.

His were the planets and stars in the sky;

His were the valleys and mountains so high;

His, all earth's riches from pole unto pole,

But He became poor to ransom my soul.
