|
<p>The great God of heaven is come down to earth,<br>
|
|
His mother a virgin, and sinless His birth;<br>
|
|
The Father eternal His Father alone:<br>
|
|
He sleeps in the manger; He reigns on the throne.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Then let us adore Him, and praise His great love:<br>
|
|
To save us poor sinners He came from above.</p>
|
|
<p>A Babe on the breast of a maiden He lies,<br>
|
|
Yet sits with the Father on high in the skies;<br>
|
|
Before Him their faces the seraphim hide,<br>
|
|
While Joseph stands waiting, unscared, by His side.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Lo! here is Emmanuel, here is the Child,<br>
|
|
The Son that was promised to Mary so mild;<br>
|
|
Whose power and dominion shall ever increase,<br>
|
|
The Prince that shall rule o’er a kingdom of peace.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The Wonderful Counsellor, boundless in might,<br>
|
|
The Father’s own image, the beam of His light;<br>
|
|
Behold Him now wearing the likeness of man,<br>
|
|
Weak, helpless, and speechless, in measure a span.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>O wonder of wonders, which none can unfold:<br>
|
|
The Ancient of Days is an hour or two old;<br>
|
|
The Maker of all things is made of the earth,<br>
|
|
Man is worshipped by angels, and God comes to birth:</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The word in the bliss of the Godhead remains,<br>
|
|
Yet in flesh comes to suffer the keenest of pains;<br>
|
|
He is that He was, and forever shall be,<br>
|
|
But becomes that He was not, for you and for me.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
