|
<p>Come, Thou Redeemer of the earth,<br>
|
|
And manifest Thy virgin birth:<br>
|
|
Let every age adoring fall;<br>
|
|
Such birth befits the God of all.</p>
|
|
<p>Begotten of no human will,<br>
|
|
But of the Spirit, Thou art still<br>
|
|
The Word of God in flesh arrayed,<br>
|
|
The promised Fruit to man displayed.</p>
|
|
<p>The virgin womb that burden gained<br>
|
|
With virgin honor all unstained;<br>
|
|
The banners there of virtue glow;<br>
|
|
God in His temple dwells below.</p>
|
|
<p>Forth from His chamber goeth He,<br>
|
|
That royal home of purity,<br>
|
|
A giant in twofold substance one,<br>
|
|
Rejoicing now His course to run.</p>
|
|
<p>From God the Father He proceeds,<br>
|
|
To God the Father back He speeds;<br>
|
|
His course He runs to death and hell,<br>
|
|
Returning on God’s throne to dwell.</p>
|
|
<p>O equal to the Father, Thou!<br>
|
|
Gird on Thy fleshly mantle now;<br>
|
|
The weakness of our mortal state<br>
|
|
With deathless might invigorate.</p>
|
|
<p>Thy cradle here shall glitter bright,<br>
|
|
And darkness breathe a newer light,<br>
|
|
Where endless faith shall shine serene,<br>
|
|
And twilight never intervene.</p>
|
|
<p>All laud to God the Father be,<br>
|
|
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee;<br>
|
|
All glory, as is ever meet,<br>
|
|
To God the Holy Paraclete.</p>
