Savior of the Nations, Come

Verse 1

Savior of the nations, come, Virgin's Son, make here your home. Marvel now, O Heav'n and Earth, That the Lord chose such a birth.

Verse 2

Not by human flesh and blood, By the Spirit of our God Was the Word of God made flesh: Woman's offspring, pure and fresh.

Verse 3

Wondrous birth! O wondrous child Of the virgin undefiled! Though by all the world disowned, Still to be in Heav’n enthroned.

Verse 4

Lo, he comes! The Lord of all Leaves his bright and royal hall; God and man, with giant force, Hastening to run his course.

Verse 5

From the Father forth he came And returned hence to the same. Captive leading death and hell— High the song of triumph swell!

Verse 6

Christ, the Father’s only Son, Has o’er sin the vict’ry won. Boundless shall your kingdom be; When shall we its glories see?

Verse 7

Brightly does your manger shine; Glorious is its light divine. Let not sin o’ercloud this light; Ever be our faith thus bright.

Verse 8

Praise to God the Father sing, Praise to God the Son, our King, Praise to God the Spirit be Ever and eternally.
