Incarnation Hymn
Come, hear the heavenly company proclaim
The sweetest mystery the universe has known
Creator God, Ancient of Days His name
His fullness wrapped in flesh, in weakness born.
Here on this eve, this holiest of nights
Seraphim and cherubim eloquently tell
Glory of bright glories, joy of all ecstasy
Coined in those words, ‘with us’ – Immanuel!
What consummation, fullness of all these years
Your holy ones in hope had lifted weeping eyes
Prophets foretelling, vision of the seers
Glad realisation, in the manger lies
Join heaven and earth, let men with angels sing
Light of the nations, hope of Israel
Both rich and poor salute the newborn King
Our God is here with us: Immanuel!
