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 the manger; he reigns on the throne:

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:

Lo! here is Emmanuel, here is the Child,
the Son that was promised to Mary so mild;
whose pow’r and dominion shall ever increase,
the Prince that shall rule o’er a kingdom of peace:

The Wonderful Counsellor, 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:

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 worshipped by angels, and God comes to birth:

Then let us adore him, and praise his great love:
to save us poor sinners he came from above.

The word in 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
