1 Who is this in Bethlehem’s town,
Brings the holy angels down—
Shepherds too, and wise men bow,
Son of God, ’tis Thou! ’tis Thou!
2 In the temple, who is He,
Aged Simeon longs to see?
Happy saint, he pays his vow,
Son of God, ’tis Thou! ’tis Thou!
3 Who is He in yonder cot,
Bending to His toilsome lot.
Veiled in flesh we know Thee now,
Son of man, ’tis Thou! ’tis Thou!
4 Sing we then with heart and voice,
While the sons of men rejoice.
While Heav’n’s glory crowns Thy brow,
Son of God, ’tis Thou! ’tis Thou!
5 Hail the Savior, praise Him then,
Heav’n’s own richest gift to men,
Son of God—of man, ’tis Thou
We would ever praise as now.
