SAVIOUR OF THE NATIONS COME

​

Saviour of the nations, come,

Virgin's Son, make here thy home!

Marvel now, O heav'n and earth,

that the Lord chose such a birth.

SAVIOUR OF THE NATIONS COME

​

Not of flesh and blood the Son,

offspring of the Holy One;

born of Mary ever blest,

God in flesh is manifest.

​

Wondrous birth!

O wondrous Child

of the Virgin undefiled!

Though by all the world disowned,

still to be in heav'n enthroned.

​

From the Father forth he came

and returneth to the same,

captive leading death and hell,

high the song of triumph swell!

​

Thou, the Father's only Son,

hast o'er sin the vict'ry won.

Boundless shall thy kingdom be;

when shall we its glories see?
