Was not Christ our Saviour Sent unto us from God above, Not for our good behaviour, But only of His mercy and love? If this be true, as true it is, Truly indeed; Great thanks to God to yield for this Then had we need. 2. This did our God for very troth, To train to Him the soul of man, And justly to perform his oath To Sarah, and to Abraham, than That through his seed, all nations should Most blessed be, And in due time performed, He would All flesh should see. 3. Which wondrously is brougt to pass, And in our sight already done, By sending as His promise was (To comfort us) His only Son, Even Christ, I mean, that virgin's child In Bethlehem born: That Lamb of God, that Prophet mild, With crowned thorn. 4. Such was His love, to save us all From dangers of the curse of God, That we stood in by Adam's fall, And by our own deserved rod. That through His blood and holy name, All that believe, And fly from sin, and abhor the same, Shall grace receive. 5. For this glad news, this feast doth bring, To God the Son and Holy Ghost," Let man give thanks, rejoice and sing, From world to world, from coast to coast, For other gifts in many ways, That God doth send: Let us in Christ give God the praise, Till life shall end.
