Savior of the Nations, Come
- Savior of the nations, come,
virgin’s Son, make here thy home!
Marvel now, O heav’n and earth,
that the Lord chose such a birth. - Not of flesh and blood the Son,
offspring of the Holy One;
born of Mary ever blest,
God in flesh is manifest. - Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child
of the virgin undefiled!
Though by all the world disowned,
still to be in heav’n enthroned. - From the Father forth he came
and returneth to the same,
captive leading death and hell,
high the song of triumph swell! - 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? - Praise to God the Father sing,
Praise to God the Son, our King,
Praise to God the Spirit be
ever and eternally.
