5 Verses Christian Hymn Spiritual Song

Verse 1

Savior of the nations, come; Virgin's Son, here make Thy home! Marvel now, O heav'n and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth.

Verse 2

Not by human flesh and blood; By the Spirit of our God Was the Word of God made flesh, Woman's offspring, pure and fresh.

Verse 3

Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child Of the virgin undefiled! Though by all the world disowned, Still to be in heaven enthroned.

Verse 4

From the Father forth He came And returneth to the same, Captive leading death and hell High the song of triumph swell!

Verse 5

Thou, the Father's only Son, Hast o'er sin the vict'ry won. Boundless shall Thy kingdom be; When shall we its glories see?
