Come, thou Redeemer of the earth, Come, testify thy Virgin-birth: All lands admire, all times applaud! Such is the birth that fits a God. 2. Begotten of no human will, But of the Spirit, mystick still, The Word of God in flesh array'd- The promis'd fruit to man dispiay'd. 3. The Virgin womb that burden gain'd With Virgin honour all unstain'd: The banners there of virtue glow; God in his temple dwells below. 4. Proceeding from his chamber free, The royal ball of chastity, Giant of two-fold substance, straight His destin'd way he runs elate. 5. From God the Father he proceeds; To God the Father back he speeds: Proceeds, as far as very hell; Speeds back, to light ineffable. 6. O Equal to thy Father, thou! Gird on thy fleshly mantle now: The weakness of our mortal state With deathless might invigorate. 7. Thy cradle here shall glitter bright, And darkness breathe a newer light, Where endless faith shall shine serene, And twilight never intervene. 8. All laud to God the Father be, All praise, Eternal Son, to thee: All glory, as is ever meet, To God the Holy Paraclete. Amen. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # |
