Savior of the Nations, Come

Author: Martin Luther; William Morton Reynolds, 1812-1876; Ambrose of Milan Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Lyrics: 1 Savior of the nations, come; Virgin's Son, here make Your home. Marvel now, O heaven and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth. 2 From the Godhead forth You came, And return unto the same, Captive leading death and hell. High the song of triumph swell! 3 You, the chosen Holy One, Have ov'r sin the victory won. Boundless shall Your kingdom be; When shall we its glories see? 4 Brightly does Your manger shine, Glorious is its light divine. Let not sin o'ercloud this light; Ever be our faith thus bright.

A maiden, in her lowly place, Became, in ways beyond all thought, The chosen vessel of His grace. 4 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. 5 All glory for this blessed morn To God the Father ever be; All praise to You, O Virgin-born, And Holy Ghost eternally.

Cheer my wearied spirit, O pure and holy Child; Thro' Thy grace and merit, Blest Jesus, Lord most mild, Draw me unto Thee! Draw me unto Thee! 3 Now thro' His Son doth shine The Father's grace divine. Death o'er us had reigned Thro' sin and vanity; He for us obtained Eternal joy on high. May we praise Him there! May we praise Him there! 4 Oh, where shall joy be found? Where but on heav'nly ground? Where the angels singing With all His saints unite, Sweetest praises bringing In heav'nly joy and light, Oh, that we were there! Oh, that we were there! Amen.
