The great God of heaven is come down to earth, his mother a Virgin and sinless his birth; the Father eternal his Father alone: he sleeps in a manger; he reigns on the throne: Refrain: Then let us adore him and praise his great love: to save us poor sinners he came from above. A Babe on the breast of a Maiden he lies, yet sits with the Father on high in the skies; before him their faces the Seraphim hide, while Joseph stands waiting, unscared, by his side: Refrain Lo! here is Emmanuel, here is the Child, the Son that was promised to Mary so mild; whose power and dominion shall ever increase, the Prince that shall rule o'er a kingdom of peace: Refrain The Wonderful Counselor, boundless in might, the Father's own image, the beam of his light; behold him now wearing the likeness of man, weak, helpless and speechless, in measure a span: Refrain O wonder of wonders, which none can unfold: the Ancient of days is an hour or two old; the Maker of all things is made of the earth, man is worshiped by angels and God comes to birth: Refrain The Word in the bliss of the Godhead remains, yet in flesh comes to suffer the keenest of pains; he is that he was and for ever shall be, but becomes that he was not, for you and for me.
