A virgin pure
both meek and mild
In Bethlehem brought forth her child
In Bethlehem brought forth her child;
Our nature first on Him to take
And then
as Christ
our peace to make
Our nature first on Him to take
And then
as Christ
our peace to make.
Consider what the spotless Lamb
Did undergo for sinful man
Did undergo for sinful man
Nailed to the cross to pain and die
While wicked spies stood gazing by!
Nailed to the cross to pain and die
While wicked spies stood gazing by!
Who can express the joy and love
That God sent down from Heaven above
That God sent down from Heaven above
From Satan’s power redeeming all
When we were lost by Adam’s fall?
From Satan’s power redeeming all
When we were lost by Adam’s fall?
Then let us praise the God of Heaven
Who unto us His Son hath giv’n
Who unto us His Son hath giv’n
Hath sent Him down with us to dwell
Our Jesus
our Emmanuel
Hath sent Him down with us to dwell
Our Jesus
our Emmanuel.
