Text: | Come, Thou Saviour of our Race! |
Author: | Ambrose, 340-397 |
Author: | Martin Luther, 1483-1546 |
Tune: | GOTT SEI DANK DURCH ALLE WELT |
1 Come, Thou Savior of our race,
Choicest Gift of heavenly grace!
O Thou blessed Virgin’s Son,
Be Thy race on earth begun.
2 Not of mortal blood or birth,
He descends from heaven to earth;
By the Holy Ghost conceived,
Truly man to be believed.
3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child
Of the Virgin undefiled!
Though by all the world disowned,
Still to be in heaven enthroned.
4 From the Father forth He came,
And returneth to the same;
Captive leading death and hell,--
High the song of triumph swell!
5 Equal to the Father now,
Though to dust Thou once didst bow,
Boundless shall Thy kingdom be;
When shall we its glories see?
6 Brightly doth Thy manger shine!
Glorious in its light divine:
Let not sin o’ercloud this light,
Ever be our faith thus bright.
Amen.
