savior of the nations come
savior of the nations come, virgin's son here make thy home
marvel now o heaven and earth, that the lord chose such a birth
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
woman's offspring pure and fresh
wondrous birth o wondrous child, of the virgin undefiled
human and divine in one, eager now his race to run
god the father is his source, back to god he runs his course
down to death and hell descends, god's high throne he re-ascends
god's high throne he re-ascends
now the manger's halo bright, hallows night with newborn light
let no night this light subdue, let our faith shine ever new
now the manger's halo bright, hallows night with newborn light
let no night this light subdue, let our faith shine ever new
let our faith shine ever new
savior of the nations come
