Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #86 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 To us a child of royal birth,
heir of the promises, is given;
the invisible appears on earth,
the Son of Man, the God of heaven.
2 A Saviour born, in love supreme,
he comes our fallen souls to raise;
he comes his people to redeem
with all the fulness of his grace.
3 The Christ, by raptured seers foretold,
filled with the eternal Spirit’s power,
Prophet, and Priest, and King behold,
the Lord of all the worlds adore.
4 The Lord of Hosts, the God most high,
who quits his throne on earth to live,
with joy we welcome from the sky,
with faith into our hearts receive. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Christmas Scripture: Matthew 2:2 Languages: English Tune Title: DEVONSHIRE
