Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church ‎#87

87. Lo, God, Our God, Has Come

1 Lo, God, our God, has come;
To us a Child is born;
To us a Son is given;
Bless, bless the blessed morn!
O happy, lowly, lofty birth!
Now God, our God, has come to earth.

2 Rejoice! our God has come,
In love and lowliness;
The Son of God has come
The sons of men to bless;
God with us now descends to dwell,
God in our flesh, Immanuel.

3 Praise ye the Word made flesh;
True God, true man is He;
Praise ye the Christ of God;
To Whom all glory be!
Praise ye the Lamb that once was slain!
Praise ye the King that comes to reign!
