1 A great and mighty wonder
Our Christmas festal brings:
On earth, a lowly Infant,
Behold the King of kings.
2 The Word is made incarnate,
Descending from on high;
And cherubim to shepherds
Sing anthems from the sky.
3 And we with them triumphant,
Repeat the hymn again:
To God on high be glory,
And peace on earth to men!
4 While thus they sing your monarch,
Those bright angelic bands,
Rejoice, ye vales and mountains!
Ye oceans, clap your hands!
5 Since all He comes to ransom,
By all be He adored,
The Infant born in Bethl’hem,
The Savior and the Lord!
6 And idol forms shall perish,
And error shall decay,
And Christ shall wield His scepter,
Our Lord and God for aye.
