Dost thou in a manger lie, who hast all created, stretching infant hands on high, Savior, long awaited? If a monarch, where thy state? Where thy court on thee to wait? Scepter, crown, and sphere? Here no regal pomp we see, nought but need and penury: why thus cradled here? 2. "For the world a love supreme brought me to this stable; all creation to redeem I alone am able. By this lowly birth of mine, sinner, riches shall be thine, matchless gifts and free; willingly this yoke I take, and this sacrifice I make, heaping joys for thee." 3. Christ we praise with voices bold, laud and honor raising; for these mercies manifold join the hosts in praising: Father, glory be to thee for the wondrous charity of thy Son, our Lord.

Bend down thy gracious ear to me; I lay my sins before thee. If thou rememberest every sin, if nought but just reward we win, could we abide thy presence? 2. Thou grantest pardon through thy love; thy grace alone availeth. Our works could ne'er our guilt remove; yea, e'en the best life faileth. For none may boast themselves of aught, but must confess thy grace hath wrought whate'er in them is worthy. 3. And thus my hope is in the Lord, and not in my own merit; I rest upon his faithful word to them of contrite spirit. That he is merciful and just, here is my comfort and my trust; his help I wait with patience. Topics: Lent Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: AUS TIEFER NOT
