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. [Refrain] Then let us adore Him, and praise His great love: To save us poor sinners He came from above. 2. 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. [Refrain] 3. 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 o'er a kingdom of peace. [Refrain] 4. 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. [Refrain] 5. 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: [Refrain] 6. The word in the bliss of the Godhead remains, Yet in flesh comes to suffer the keenest of pains; He is that He was, and forever shall be, But becomes that He was not, for you and for me.
