A virgin pure, both meek and mild
|:In Bethlehem brought forth her Child,:|
Our nature first on Him to take,
And then, as Christ, our peace to make,
Our nature first on Him to take,
And then, as Christ, our peace to make.
Consider what the spotless Lamb
|:Did undergo for sinful man,:|
Nailed to the cross to pain and die,
While wicked spies stood gazing by!
Nailed to the cross to pain and die,
While wicked spies stood gazing by!
Who can express the joy and love
|:That God sent down
from Heaven above :|
From Satan’s power redeeming all,
When we were lost by Adam’s fall?
From Satan’s power redeeming all,
When we were lost by Adam’s fall?
Then let us praise the God of Heaven,
|:Who unto us His Son hath giv’n,:|
Hath sent Him down with us to dwell
Our Jesus our Emmanuel,
Hath sent Him down with us to dwell
Our Jesus our Emmanuel.
