[Verse 1]
       G            C
When love came down to earth
      D                 G
And made His home with men
                       C
The hopeless found a hope
       D              G
The sinner found a friend
               C
Not to the powerful
                    Em
But to the poor He came
                    C
And humble hungry hearts
        D        G
Were satisfied again

[Chorus]
       C       G          C     Em
What joy what peace has come to us
       C        Em         C
What hope what help what love

[Verse 2]
G                   C
When every unclean thought
     D             G
And every sinful deed
                       C
Was scourged upon His back
       D                   G
And hammered through His feet
                  C
The Innocent is cursed
                  Em
The guilty are released
                   C
The punishment of God
    D                   G
On God has brought me peace

[Chorus]
       C       G          C     Em
What joy what peace has come to us
       C        Em         C
What hope what help what love

[Verse 3]
G                   C
Come lay your heavy load
     D                G
Down at the Master's feet
                      C
Your shame will be removed
      D              G
Your joy will be complete
                    C
Come crucify your pride
                 Em
And enter as a child
                        C
For those who bow down low
       D               G
He'll lift up to His side

[Chorus]
       C       G          C     Em
What joy what peace has come to us
       C        Em         C
What hope what help what love

       C       G          C     Em
What joy what peace has come to us
       C        Em         C
What hope what help what love
      G
What love
