8375. Lamb, Whose Blood For All Men Streamed

1 Lamb, whose blood for all men streamed,
Light, that shone ere morning beamed,
God and God’s eternal Son,
Ever with the Father one;

2 Splendor of the Father’s light,
Star of hope for ever bright,
Hearken to the prayers that flow
From Thy servants here below.

3 Lord, remember that in love
Thou didst leave Thy throne above,
Man’s frail nature to assume
In the holy virgin’s womb.

4 Now Thy Church, each circling year,
Celebrates that love so dear;
Love that brought Thee here alone,
For the guilty to atone.

5 Let not earth alone rejoice,
Seas and skies unite their voice
In a new song, to the morn
When the Lord of life was born.

6 Ransomed by the holy tide
Shed from Thy most precious side,
Joyful let us hail the morn
When the Lord of life was born.

7 Virgin-born, to Thee be praise,
Now and through eternal days;
Father, equal praise to Thee,
With the Spirit, ever be.
