Verse 1
Savior of the nations, come; Virgin's Son, here make Thy home!
Marvel now, O heav'n and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth.
Verse 2
Not by human flesh and blood; By the Spirit of our God
Was the Word of God made flesh, Woman's offspring, pure and fresh.
Verse 3
Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child Of the virgin undefiled!
Though by all the world disowned, Still to be in heaven enthroned.
Verse 4
From the Father forth He came And returneth to the same,
Captive leading death and hell High the song of triumph swell!
Verse 5
Thou, the Father's only Son, Hast o'er sin the vict'ry won.
Boundless shall Thy kingdom be; When shall we its glories see?
