Author: Martin Luther; Ambrose, (340-397); Wm. R. Reynolds Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #23 (1926) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Saviour of our race,
Choicest Gift of heav'nly grace!
O Thou blessed Virgin's Son,
Be Thy race on earth begun,
Be Thy race on earth begun.
2 Not of mortal blood or birth,
He descends from heaven to earth:
By the Holy Ghost conceived,
God and man by us believed,
God and man by us believed.
3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child
Of the virgin undefiled!
Though by all the world disowned,
Still to be in heaven enthroned,
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!
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?
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,
Ever be our faith thus bright.
Amen.
