Redeemer<br />
<strong>of</strong> the nations, come!<br />
Ransom <strong>of</strong> earth, here make Thy home!<br />
Bright Sun, oh dart Thy flame to earth,<br />
For so shall God in Christ have birth!<br />
Thou comest from Thy kingly throne,<br />
O Son <strong>of</strong> God, the Virgin's Son!<br />
Thou Hero <strong>of</strong> a tw<strong>of</strong>old race,<br />
Dost walk in might earth's darkest place.<br />
Thou stoopest once to suffer here,<br />
And risest o'er the starry sphere;<br />
Hell's gates at thy descent were riven,<br />
Thy ascent is to highest Heaven.<br />
One with the Father! Prince <strong>of</strong> might!<br />
O'er nature's realm assert Thy right,<br />
Our sickly bodies pine to know<br />
Thy heavenly strength, Thy living glow,<br />
How bright Thy lowly manger beams!<br />
Down earth's dark vale its glory streams,<br />
<strong>The</strong> splendour <strong>of</strong> Thy natal night<br />
Shines through all time in deathless light.<br />
