1 Where is this stupendous Stranger?
Prophets, shepherds, kings, advise!
Lead me to my Master's manger,
show me where my Savior lies.
2 O most Mighty, O most Holy,
far beyond the seraph’s thought,
are you then so mean and lowly
as unheeded prophets thought?
3 Oh, the magnitude of meekness!
worth from worth immortal sprung!
Oh, the strength of infant weakness,
if eternal is so young!
4 God all bounteous, all creative,
whom our sins could not dissuade,
you have come to be a native
of the very world you made.
