The Book—Let All Bow Down and Read

The book—let all bow down and read—

The book of God to sin­ners giv’n

The birth of Ab­ra­ham’s bless­èd Seed

Of Da­vid’s Son

sent down from Heav’n!

Stupendous mys­te­ry di­vine

Gospel to ag­es past un­known!

Heathens and Jews through Je­sus join

And God and man in Christ are one.

Father of Je­sus Christ

our Lord

Our Fa­ther through His birth Thou art;

Thy Spir­it tes­ti­fies the Word

Made flesh

to ev­ery faith­ful heart;

In us Thy new-born Son re­veal

Thy Son from all eter­ni­ty

And give Him still on earth to dwell

By faith con­ceived and formed in me.
