The Hurewicz theorem, Mayer-Vietoris sequence, and Whitehead's certain exact sequence are proved for simplicial Lie algebras. These results are applied, using crossed module techniques, to obtain information on the low dimensional homology of a Lie algebra, and information on aspherical presentations of Lie algebras.
