Laudes Domini ‎#333

333. The Word made flesh

1 Christ is born; tell forth his fame!
Christ from heaven; his love proclaim;
Christ on earth; exalt his name!
Sing to the Lord, O world, with exultation;
Break forth in glad thanksgiving, every nation;
For he hath triumphed gloriously!

2 Man in God's own image made,
Man, by Satan's wiles betrayed,
Man, on whom corruption preyed,
Shut out from hope of life and of salvation,
To-day Christ maketh him a new creation;
For he hath triumphed gloriously!

3 He, the Wisdom, Word, and Might;
God, and Son, and Light of Light;
Undiscovered by the sight
Of earthly monarch or infernal spirit,
Incarnate was that we should heaven inherit:
For he hath triumphed gloriously!
