<p>High Word of God, Who once didst come,<br>
Leaving Thy Father and Thy home,<br>
To succor by Thy birth our kind,<br>
When, towards Thy advent, time declined,</p>
<p>Pour light upon us from above,<br>
And fire our hearts with Thy strong love,<br>
That, as we hear Thy Gospel read,<br>
All fond desires may flee in dread;</p>
<p>That when Thou comest from the skies,<br>
Great Judge, to open Thine assize,<br>
To give each hidden sin its smart,<br>
And crown as kings the pure in heart,</p>
<p>We be not set at Thy left hand,<br>
Where sentence due would bid us stand,<br>
But with the saints Thy face may see,<br>
Forever wholly loving Thee.</p>
<p>Praise to the Father and the Son,<br>
Through all the ages as they run;<br>
And to the holy Paraclete<br>
Be praise with Them and worship meet.</p>
