Lord, who left the highest heaven
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Christmas 2 The Holy Family Lyrics: 1 Lord, who left the highest heaven
for a homeless human birth
and, a child within a stable,
came to share the life of earth —
with your grace and mercy bless
all who suffer homelessness.
2 Lord, who sought by cloak of darkness
refuge under foreign skies
from the swords of Herod's soldiers,
ravaged homes and parents' cries —
may your grace and mercy rest
on the homeless and oppressed.
3 Lord, who lived secure and settled,
safe within the Father's plan,
and in wisdom, stature, favour
growing up from boy to man —
with your grace and mercy bless
all who strive for holiness.
4 Lord, who leaving home and kindred,
followed still as duty led,
sky the roof and earth the pillow
for the Prince of glory's head —
with your grace and mercy bless
sacrifice for righteousness.
5 Lord, who in your cross and passion
hung beneath a darkened sky,
yet whose thoughts were for your mother,
and a thief condemned to die —
may your grace and mercy rest
on the helpless and distressed.
6 Lord, who rose to life triumphant
with our whole salvation won,
risen, glorified, ascended,
all the Father's purpose done —
may your grace, all conflict past,
bring your children home at last. Used With Tune: OTTAWA

for his bed a cattle-stall;
oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
noels ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the babe is Lord for all,
Christ the babe is Lord for all.
2 Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
vigil till the morning new
saw the glory, heard the story,
tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
praises voicing, greet the morrow:
Christ the babe was born for you,
Christ the babe was born for you. Used With Tune: W ŻŁOBIE LEŻY Text Sources: Polish carol

Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
It fills the heart with ecstasy,
that God, in Jesus Christ, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 God sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place,
but wore the robe of human frame,
and freely to this lost world came.
3 For us he was baptized, and bore
a holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharply knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us great daily works were wrought,
by words, and signs, and actions, thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
5 For us to wicked foes betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
6 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
7 To God whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through the Son,
to God all praise and glory be
both now and through eternity. Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR Text Sources: Latin, 15th century

born to give us second birth. [Refrain]
