He has come! the Christ of God
1
He has come! the Christ of GodLeft for us his glad abode,Stooping from his throne of blissTo this darksome wilderness.He has come! the Prince of peace;Come to bid our sorrows cease,Come to scatter with his lightAll the shadows of our night.
2
He, the mighty King, has come!Making this poor earth his home;Come to bear our sin's sad load;Son of David, Son of God!He has come, whose name of graceSpeaks deliverance to our race;Left for us his glad abode;Son of Mary, Son of God!
3
Unto us a child is born!Ne'er has earth beheld a morn,Among all the morns of time,Half so glorious in its prime.Unto us a Son is given!He has come from God's own heaven,Bringing with him from aboveHoly peace and holy love.
