s, Come
Verse 1:
Savior of the
nations, come; virgin’s
son, make here your
home. Marvel now, O
heav’n and earth: God
has chosen such
a birth.
Verse 2:
Not by human flesh
and blood, but the
mystic Breath of God,
was the Word of God
made flesh, fruit of
woman, blossom
fresh.
Verse 3:
Wondrous birth—
oh, wondrous child—
from his throne, a virgin
mild! Very God, and
Mary’s son, eager
now his race to
run!
Verse 4:
From God’s heart
the Savior speeds, back
to God his pathway leads;
out to vanquish death’s
command, back to
reign at God’s right
hand.
Verse 5:
Now your manger,
shining bright, hallows
night with newborn
light. Night cannot this
light subdue; let our
faith shine ever
new.
