For Our God Has Come to Earth

Silent, trembling, over-awed
All creation hails this hour
Here, O man, behold your God
Marvel at His saving power
He with you, His rebel creature
Feeble, mortal, sinful, lowly
Shares His uncreated nature
Glorious, pure, eternal, holy
For our God has come to earth
For our God has come to earth

Righteousness comes down from Heav'n
Faithfulness springs up from earth
For a slave, a Son is giv'n
Noblest Lord of humblest birth
For th'Immortal at His coming
By His grace, not for our merit
Our mortality assuming
Wears our flesh and breathes His Spirit
For our God has come to earth
For our God has come to earth

See the Godhead manifest
In the Infant's lowly form
Nourished from the Virgin's breast
In the manger swaddled warm
Yet as once the womb of Mary
Bore Him at the Father's pleasure
Now in earthen jars we carry
Christ, our everlasting treasure
For our God has come to earth
For our God has come to earth

Come to us, O Word made Flesh
Make Your face on us to shine
Let Your Spirit fall afresh
Fill us with Your life divine
Bear us up, Your new creation
From one glory to another
Save us by Your Incarnation
Jesus, splendor of the Father
For our God has come to earth
For our God has come to earth
