The Great God Of Heaven Is Come Down To Earth,
His Mother A Virgin, And Sinless His Birth;
The Father Eternal His Father Alone:
He Sleeps In The Manger; He Reigns On The Throne:
Then Let Us Adore Him, And Praise His Great Love:
To Save Us Poor Sinners He Came From Above.
A Babe On The Breast Of A Maiden He Lies,
Yet Sits With The Father On High In The Skies;
Before Him Their Faces The Seraphim Hide,
While Joseph Stands Waiting, Unscared, By His Side:
Lo! Here Is Emmanuel, Here Is The Child,
The Son That Was Promised To Mary So Mild;
Whose Power And Dominion Shall Ever Increase,
The Prince That Shall Rule Over A Kingdom Of Peace:
The Wonderful Counsellor, Boundless In Might,
The Father’s Own Image, The Beam Of His Light;
Behold Him Now Wearing The Likeness Of Man,
Weak, Helpless, And Speechless, In Measure A Span:
O Wonder Of Wonders, Which None Can Unfold:
The Ancient Of Days Is An Hour Or Two Old;
The Maker Of All Things Is Made Of The Earth,
Man Is Worshipped By Angels, And God Comes To Birth:
Then Let Us Adore Him, And Praise His Great Love:
To Save Us Poor Sinners He Came From Above.
The Word In Bliss Of The Godhead Remains,
Yet In Flesh Comes To Suffer The Keenest Of Pains;
He Is That He Was, And For Ever Shall Be,
But Becomes That He Was Not, For You And For Me.
