He didn’t write it with a pen,

Or seal it with a kiss
He left all life’s enticing charms,

And momentary bliss

To walk the road to Calvary,

And feel the endless pain
Thinking never of His self,

But what the world might gain

He didn’t write it with a pen,

Or seal it with a kiss
He wrote it with His precious blood,
So Joy we’d never miss
