Man, by Satan’s wiles deceived, forfeits God’s image bright; But Christ hath this loss retrieved, brought redemption plain to light. Glorious mystery! God reveal’d, in flesh our fall made good. He the mighty—He the holy, condescends with man to dwell! See your Saviour, meek and lowly, hail your God—Emmanuel! We wait for Him—he will bless us, in his name we will be glad. We unite to render praises unto our incarnate God; Sing hosannas to Christ Jesus, who assumed our flesh and blood: Blessed, blessed he that cometh in the name of Christ the Lord! |
