Our Christ He is the fruit of earth
In excellence replete;
Jehovah’s shoot
divinity;
Where God with man does meet.
Our Christ He is the canopy
To shelter God’s elect
A hiding place
a shade from heat
God’s work He does protect.
As virgin’s Son
to us He came—
The universal sign;
Immanuel
God dwells with us;
O what a joy divine.
Now unto us this child is born
As firstborn Son He came;
As counselor
He’s wonderful
The mighty God His name.
The shadow of a massive rock
Upon a wasted soil
A refuge He from storm and wind
A rest from earthly toil.
A twig and branch and Jesse’s root
The fruit of all the earth;
He grew up as a tender plant
O what a Christ of worth.
Our Christ
He is the cornerstone;
He’s tested and secure
The glory of the Father’s house
Upon Him resting sure.
Although He was despised by man
Acquainted He with grief;
He paid the greatest sacrifice
That we should find release.
A peg that’s driven in the wall
On which all glory rests
The faithful household steward He
God’s wisdom manifest.
Eternal covenant He makes
With David’s mercies sure;
The thirsty He does satisfy
With living waters pure.
To properly portray this One
The Bible uses three:
Isaiah
Cyrus
Israel;
A threefold Servant He.
The Prince of Peace and Mighty God
The Savior and the King
The light in the Millennium
’Tis of this One we sing.
Since unto us this light has shined
Who dwell in Galilee
We evermore declare His praise
O what a Christ is He.
