The True Historic Jesus

I know no oth­er Je­sus

Than He who died for me;

The Sav­ior of lost sin­ners

The Christ of Cal­va­ry.

I know no id­eal Je­sus

That hu­man minds in­vent;

The on­ly Christ I wor­ship

Is whom the Fa­ther sent.

That h­uman Christs could save me

Is in­ad­mis­si­ble;

My Je­sus is the im­age

Of God in­vi­si­ble.

My Christ be­came in­car­nate

And of the vir­gin born;

He left a crown of glo­ry

To wear the plat­ted thorn.

The In­fant of the man­ger

The vil­lage Car­pen­ter

The Teach­er sent from Heav­en

To men to min­is­ter;

The true his­tor­ic Jesus

Who died and rose again

He on­ly is the Je­sus

That I pro­claim to men.
