Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Lo, God, our God, has come! Lyrics: 1 Lo, God, our God, has come!
To us a child is born,
To us a son is given;
Bless, bless, the blessèd 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. Used With Tune: NEWBURY Text Sources: Hymns of Faith and Hope, third series (New York: Robert Carter and Brothers, 1866)
