From the realms of unseen glory,
Jesus came to earth below
To a world of hate and anguish
the Creator's love to show.
He laid down a life eternal
to assume the form of man.
To a world of helpless sinners
He revealed a wondrous plan.
As a Lamb is led to slaughter,
He was offered up to death,
All our sins He gladly carried,
even to His final breath.
So shall angels bring him honor,
and in praise their voices ring.
So the saints shall kneel before Him
when the earth receives its King.
As the splendor of the heavens
when the sun shines forth in might,
In the Kingdom of our Father
shall the righteous shine as bright.
Everlasting are the blessings
the Creator has in store.
Everlasting are the pleasures
to be ours forever more.
