Tune: Hereford
('O thou who camest from above')
John 12 v.23-25
*********
Jesus said, The hour come is
That the Son of man should be , this
Is true, that He be glorified
The time is now, it not denied
Truly. truly, I say to you
Except a grain of wheat so do
Fall into the ground and too die
It does remain alone, no lie
But if it die, it brings froth much
Fruit, though they who now be of such
Who love their own life selfishly
Shall lose it, hear, no doubt there be
And they that live self-denying
lives, live for their God and their king
Shall keep their lives to eternal
Life, happy in God's presence all
