1 More blessed than those who take
are those who give, he said
who gave himself, his love, his life
and rose up from the dead.

2 Break bread with all the poor,
they are my friends, he said
whose body, broken for the world
was raised up from the dead.

3 Lay hands upon the sick
and comfort them he said
who beckoned Lazarus four days gone
and raised him from the dead.

4 Go preach and tell how near
God's Kingdom is, he said
who wore a royal crown of thorns
and rose up from the dead.
