To his own world he came,
To earth’s most favoured spot;
Jesus, Immanuel is his name,
Yet, Israel knew him not.
Son of the Father’s love,
Effulgence of his light;
He left his glorious court above,
To suffer man’s despise.
He came to suffer death,
And bleeding for his foes,
Spoke pardon with his dying breath,
And peace when he arose.
His latest moments here,
In benediction passed;
For those who saw him disappear,
That action was his last.
But, having reached his throne,
He sent down from above
His promised Spirit, to make known
The riches of his love.
Ye who have felt that flame,
On whom that grace is poured,
Go, in his Spirit to proclaim
Salvation from the Lord.
