| Composer: | J. Baptiste Calkin, 1827-1905 |
1 To us a child of royal birth,
Heir of the promises, is giv'n:
Th'Invisible appears on earth–
The Son of Man, the God of Heav'n.
2 A Saviour born in love supreme,
He comes our fallen souls to raise;
He comes His people to redeem
With all His plenitude of grace.
3 The Christ, by raptured seers foretold,
Filled with th'eternal Spirit’s pow'r,
Great Prophet, Priest and king behold,
And Lord of all the worlds adore.
4 The Lord of Hosts– the God most high
Who quits His throne on earth to live–
With joy we welcome from the sky,
With faith into our hearts receive.
