Text: | A Great and Mighty Wonder |
Author: | Anatolius, -458 |
Tune: | ST. ALPHEGE |
Composer: | Henry J. Gauntlett, Mus. Doc., 1806-1876 |
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 sing anthems
To shepherds, 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 Since all He comes to ransom,
By all be He adored,
The Infant born in Bethlehem,
The Saviour and the Lord!
5 All idol forms shall perish,
And error shall decay,
And Christ shall wield His sceptre,
Our Lord and God for aye.
Amen.
