Text

Son of the Father, King of Creation,
So loved the world from the very foundation.
Born in a stable,
Then rose from the cradle,
To show us the way and bless every nation.

Incomprehensible condescension,
Love that excels all love.
Come to the world to offer redemption,
Gift from our Father above.

Let us sound praises!
Joy to the world!
Lift up our voices and sing!
Rejoice in His greatness
And follow His word–
Let earth receive her King!

Son of Mary, innocent lamb,
Grew in wisdom and favor with God and man.
Teaching and healing,
The truth revealing,
Submitting His will to His Father's plan.

Let every heart prepare Him room;
He is our Savior and Friend.
His gospel of love tells the glorious news
Of peace, good will toward men.

Seek this Jesus as shepherds and wise men,
Hear Him and learn of His grace.
This Bethlehem Babe will forever enlighten,
He is the life, the truth, the way!

Incomprehensible condescension,
Love that excels all love.
Come to the world to offer redemption,
Gift from our Father above.

Let us sound praises!
Joy to the world!
Lift up our voices and sing!
Rejoice in His greatness
And follow His word–
Let earth receive her King!
