|
<p>O come, Redeemer of mankind, appear,<br>
|
|
Thee with full hearts the virgin born we greet;<br>
|
|
Let every age with rapt amazement hear<br>
|
|
That wondrous birth which for our God is meet.</p>
|
|
<p>Not by the will of man, or mortal seed,<br>
|
|
But by the Spirit’s breathed mysterious grace<br>
|
|
The Word of God became our flesh indeed,<br>
|
|
And grew a tender plant of human race.</p>
|
|
<p>Lo! Mary’s virgin womb its burden bears;<br>
|
|
Nor less abides her virgin purity;<br>
|
|
In the King’s glory see our nature shares;<br>
|
|
Here in His temple God vouchsafes to be.</p>
|
|
<p>From His bright chamber, virtue’s holy shrine<br>
|
|
The royal Bridegroom cometh to the day;<br>
|
|
Of twofold substance, human and divine,<br>
|
|
As giant swift, rejoicing on His way.</p>
|
|
<p>Forth from His Father to the world He goes,<br>
|
|
Back to the Father’s face His way regains,<br>
|
|
Far down to souls beneath His glory shows,<br>
|
|
Again at God’s right hand victorious reigns.</p>
|
|
<p>With the eternal Father equal, Thou,<br>
|
|
Girt with our flesh dost triumph evermore,<br>
|
|
Strengthening our feeble bodies here below<br>
|
|
With endless grace from Thine own living store.</p>
|
|
<p>How doth Thy lowly manger radiant shine!<br>
|
|
On the sweet breath of night new splendor grows;<br>
|
|
So may our spirits glow with faith divine,<br>
|
|
Where no dark cloud of sin shall interpose.</p>
|
|
<p>All praise and glory to the Father be,<br>
|
|
All praise and glory to His only Son,<br>
|
|
All praise and glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,<br>
|
|
Both now, and while eternal ages run.</p>
