foretold in sacred story.

Oh blest is Christ who came
in God’s most holy name.

Christ comes from heaven above.
His rule is peace and freedom,
and justice, truth, and love.
Lift high your praise resounding,
for grace and joy abounding. [Refrain]

All lands will bow rejoicing,
their adoration voicing. [Refrain] Topics: Church Year Advent; God King; Salvation; Zion Languages: English Tune Title: BEREDEN VAG FOR HERRAN
