Jesus, the eternal Son of God,
Whom Seraphim obey,
The bosom of the Father leaves,
And enters human clay.
Into our sinful world he comes,
The Messenger of grace,
And on the bloody tree expires,
A victim in our place.
Transgressors of the deepest stain
In him salvation find:
His blood removes the foulest guilt,
His Spirit heals the mind.
Our Jesus saves from sin and hell;
His words are true and sure,
And on this rock our faith may rest
Immovably secure.
O let these tidings be received
With universal joy,
And let the high angelic praise
Our tuneful powers employ!
“Glory to God, who gave his Son
To bear our shame and pain;
Hence peace on earth, and grace to men,
In endless blessings reign.”
