Tune: | [From east to west, from shore to shore] |
1 From east to west, from shore to shore,
Let every heart awake and sing
The Holy Child whom Mary bore,
The Christ, the everlasting King.
2 Behold! the world's Creator wears
The form and fashion of our frame;
Our very flesh our Maker shares,
To save a fallen world He came.
3 For this how wondrously He wrought!
A maiden, in her lowly place,
Became, in ways beyond all thought,
The chosen vessel of His grace.
4 She bowed her to the angel's word,
Declaring what the Father willed,
And suddenly the promised Lord
That pure and hallowed temple filled.
5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall,
He lay within the manger bed,
And He whose bounty feedeth all
At Mary's breast Himself was fed.
6 And while the angels in the sky
Sang praise above the silent field,
To shepherds poor the Lord most high,
The one great Shepherd, was revealed.
7 All glory for this blessed morn
To God the Father ever be;
All praise to Thee, O Virgin-born,
All praise, O Holy Ghost, to Thee.
