Jesus and Alexander died at thirty-three!

One lived and died for self; one died for you and me.

The Greek died on a throne; Christ died on a cross;

One’s life a triumph seemed; the other but a loss.

One led vast armies forth, the other walked alone;

One shed a whole world’s blood; the other gave His own

One won the world in life and lost it all in death;

The other lost His life, to win a whole world’s faith.

Jesus and Alexander died at thirty-three.

One died in Babylon , and one on Calvary .

One gained all for himself; and one Himself gave.

One died to conquer, and one the world to save.

The one made himself God; and God made Himself less;

The one lived but to blast; the other but to bless.

When died the Greek, forever fell his throne of swords;

But Jesus died to live forever, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Jesus and Alexander died at thirty-three!

The Greek made all men slaves; Christ made all men free!

One built a throne on blood; the other built on love.

The one was born of earth; the other from above.

One conquered all the earth, to lose all earth and heaven;

The other gave up all, that all to Him be given.

The Greek forever died; Christ forever lives!

He loses all who gets, and wins all things who gives!
