A Great and Mighty Wonder (Lutheran)

A great and migh­ty won­der

Our Christ­mas fes­tal brings:

On earth

a low­ly in­fant

Behold the King of kings.

The Word is made in­car­nate

Descending from on high;

And cher­ub­im to shep­herds

Sing an­thems from the sky.

And we with them tri­umph­ant

Repeat the hymn again:

To God on high be glo­ry

And peace on earth to men!

While thus they sing your mon­arch

Those bright an­gel­ic bands

Rejoice

ye vales and mount­ains!

Ye oceans

clap your hands!

Since all He comes to ran­som

By all be He adored

The In­fant born in Beth­l’hem

The Sav­ior and the Lord!

And id­ol forms shall per­ish

And er­ror shall de­cay

And Christ shall wield His scep­ter

Our Lord and God for aye.

While thus they sing your mon­arch

Those bright an­gel­ic bands

ye vales and mount­ains!
