Then let us adore him, and praise his great love
Author: Henry Ramsden Bramley, 1833-1917 Meter: 11.11.11 with refrain Appears in 10 hymnals Tune Title: A VIRGIN UNSPOTTED First Line: The great God of heaven is come down to earth Lyrics: 1 The great God of heaven is come down to earth,
His mother a Virgin, and sinless his birth;
The Father eternal his Father alone:
He sleeps in the manger; he reigns on the throne:
Refrain:
Then let us adore him, and praise his great love:
To save us poor sinners he came from above.
2 A Babe on the breast of a Maiden he lies,
Yet sits with the Father on high in the skies;
Before him their faces the seraphim hide,
While Joseph stands waiting, unscared, by his side: [Refrain]
3 Lo! here is Emmanuel, here is the Child,
The Son that was promised to Mary so mild;
Whose power and dominion shall ever increase,
The Prince that shall rule o’er a kingdom of peace: [Refrain]
4 The Wonderful Counsellor, boundless in might,
The Father’s own image, the beam of his light;
Behold him now wearing the likeness of man,
Weak, helpless, and speechless, in measure a span: [Refrain]
5 O wonder of wonders, which none can unfold:
The Ancient of days is an hour or two old;
The Maker of all things is made of the earth,
Man is worshipped by angels, and God comes to birth: [Refrain]

From east to west, from shore to shore
Author: Caelius Sedulius, c. 450; John Ellerton, 1826-93 Hymnal: NEH1985 #20a (1986) Tune Title: A SOLIS ORTUS Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore,
Let every heart awake and sing
The holy Child whom Mary bore,
The Christ, the everlasting King.
2 Behold, the world's creator wears
The form and fashion of a slave,
Our very flesh our Maker shares,
His fallen creature, man, to save.
3 For this how wondrously he wrought!
A maiden, in her lowly place,
Became, in ways beyond all thought,
The chosen vessel of his grace.
4 She bowed her to the angel's word
Declaring what the Father willed,
And suddenly the promised Lord
That pure and hallowed temple filled.
5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall,
He lay within the manger-bed,
And he whose bounty feedeth all,
At Mary's breast himself was fed.
6 And while the angels in the sky
Sang praise above the silent field,
To shepherds poor, the Lord most high,
The one great Shepherd was revealed.
7 All glory for that blessèd morn
To God the Father ever be,
All praise to thee, O Virgin-born,
All praise, blest Spirit, unto thee. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Christmas; Office Hymn Languages: English
