From east to west, from shore to shore

Author: Caelius Sedulius, 5th cent.; John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore, let every heart awake and sing the holy child whom Mary bore, the Christ, the everlasting King. 2 Behold, the world's creator wears the form and fashion of a slave; our very flesh our Maker shares, his fallen creatures all to save. 3 For this how wondrously he wrought! A maid in lowly human place became, in ways beyond all thought, the chosen vessel of his grace. 4 And while the angels in the sky sang praise above the silent field, to shepherds poor the Lord Most High, the one great Shepherd, was revealed. 5 All glory for this blessed morn to God the Father ever be; all praise to thee, O Virgin-born, all praise, O Holy Ghost, to thee.
