|
<p>The Lord is come! On Syrian soil,<br>
|
|
The child of poverty and toil;<br>
|
|
The Man of Sorrows, born to know<br>
|
|
Each varying shade of human woe:<br>
|
|
His joy, His glory, to fulfill,<br>
|
|
In earth and heav’n, His Father’s will;<br>
|
|
On lonely mount, by festive board,<br>
|
|
On bitter cross, despised, adored.</p>
|
|
<p>The Lord is come! In Him we trace<br>
|
|
The fullness of God’s truth and grace;<br>
|
|
Throughout those words and acts divine<br>
|
|
Gleams of th’eternal splendor shine;<br>
|
|
And from His inmost Spirit flow,<br>
|
|
As from a height of sunlit snow,<br>
|
|
The rivers of perennial life,<br>
|
|
To heal and sweeten nature’s strife.</p>
|
|
<p>The Lord is come! In every heart<br>
|
|
Where truth and mercy claim apart;<br>
|
|
In every land where right is might,<br>
|
|
And deeds of darkness shun the light;<br>
|
|
In every church where faith and love<br>
|
|
Lift earthward thoughts to things above;<br>
|
|
In every holy, happy home,<br>
|
|
We bless Thee, Lord, that Thou hast come.</p>
