Lord of the vast creation,
Support of worlds unknown,
Desire of every nation,
Behold us at thy throne:
We come for mercy crying,
Through thine atoning blood,
And, on thy grace relying,
We seek each promised good.
We bless that condescension
Which brought thee down to earth.
Of which the seers make mention
Who prophesied thy birth;
We celebrate the glory
That marked thy wondrous way,
And own the joyful story
Which claims this hallowed day.
Oh, when shall thy salvation
Be known through every land,
And men in every station
Obey thy great command?
In God’s own Son believing,
From sin may they be free;
And gospel grace receiving,
Find life and peace in thee.
