The Only Son From Heaven
Author: Elizabeth Creutiziger;
Translator: Arthur T. Russell
The only Son from heaven,
Foretold by ancient seers,
Foretold by ancient seers,
By God the Father given,
In human form appears.
In human form appears.
No sphere His light confining,
No star so brightly shining
No star so brightly shining
As He, our Morning Star.
O time of God appointed,
O bright and holy morn!
O bright and holy morn!
He comes, the King anointed,
The Christ, the virgin-born,
The Christ, the virgin-born,
Grim death to vanquish for us,
To open heav’n before us
To open heav’n before us
And bring us life again.
O Lord, our hearts awaken
To know and love You more,
To know and love You more,
In faith to stand unshaken,
In Spirit to adore,
In Spirit to adore,
That we, through this world moving,
Each glimpse of heaven proving,
Each glimpse of heaven proving,
May reap its fullness there.
O Father, here before You
With God the Holy Ghost
With God the Holy Ghost
And Jesus, we adore You,
O pride of angel host:
O pride of angel host:
Before You mortals lowly
Cry,”Holy, holy, holy,
Cry,”Holy, holy, holy,
O blessed Trinity!”
