1 Savior of the nations, come,
show yourself, the virgin's son.
Fill with wonder, all the earth,
that our God chose such a birth.
2 Not by human power or seed
did the woman's womb conceive;
only by the Spirit's breath
was the Word of God made flesh.
3 Mary then was found with child,
still a virgin, chaste and mild.
God had favored her with grace
to receive the Prince of Peace.
4 Christ laid down his majesty,
passed through dark Gethsemane.
Though he left his Father's home,
Christ now sits on God's own throne.
5 Since the star at Bethlehem
brought new light to earth again,
may our faith shine bright each day;
faithful God, keep sin away.
6 Christ in glory, intercede
for your creatures' suffering need.
Let your resurrecting power
soon complete the victory hour.
7 Praise to you, O Lord, we sing.
Praise to Christ, our newborn King!
With the Father, Spirit, one,
let your lasting kingdom come.
