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. [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] 3. Lo here is Immanuel, here is the Child, The Son that was promised to Mary so mild; Whose power and dominion shall ever increase, The Prince that shall ruin o'er a kingdom of peace. [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] 5. Oh l 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. [Chorus] 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 for ever shall be, But becomes that He was not, for you and for me.
