Author: Ambrose of Milan, 340-397; Martin Luther; William M. Reynolds Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #165 (1961) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Scripture: John 1:14 Lyrics: 1 Saviour of the nations, come,
Virgin's Son, make here thy home!
Marvel now, O heav'n and earth,
That the Lord chose such a birth.
2 Not of flesh and blood the Son,
Offspring of the Holy One;
Born of Mary ever blest
God in flesh is manifest.
3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous child
Of the virgin undefiled!
Though by all the world disowned,
Still to be in heav'n enthroned.
4 From the Father forth he came
And returneth to the same,
Captive leading death and hell,
High the song of triumph swell!
5 Thou, the Father's only Son,
Hast o'er sin the vict'ry won.
Boundless shall thy kingdom be;
When shall we its glories see?
6 Praise to God the Father sing,
Praise to God the Son, our King,
Praise to God the Spirit be
Ever and eternally.
Amen. Topics: Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Birth of; Christ Conqueror; Christ Kingdom of Languages: English Tune Title: NUN KOMM, DER HEIDEN HEILAND
