When Love Came Down

By H. A. Kean

When love came down— To take a cross and leave a crown And robes of light for pilgrim's gown, He came a Stranger to his own, When Love came down.
When Love hung on the tree— His heart's blood flowed for you and me, That we might live, that we might be With him through all eternity, When Love hung on the tree.
When Love lay dead— “The face of God was veiled in dread, Seraph and cherub weeping fell As rose that awful chant from hell, ‘The Son lies dead!’”
When Love awoke— Ten thousand saints adoring spoke. The golden harps of heaven rang, And blood-marked throngs triumphant sang: “He lives, he reigns forever more,” The Lamb of God—to die no more— When Love awoke.
— H. A. Kean.
