A Virgin Pure, Both Meek and Mild

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.
