Thou Virgin-Born Incarnate Word

lyricist: Anna Hoppe, 1920
Composer: Koralbok, 1884

Thou vir­gin-born in­car­nate Word

Begotten of the Fa­ther

Blest Son of Ma­ry

Da­vid’s Lord

In Thy dear name we ga­ther.

As Thou hast pro­mised

be Thou nigh

And hear us as we tes­ti­fy

Thou art the Christ

our Sav­ior.

The herald in the wil­der­ness

Prepares the way be­fore Thee;

With him let us Thy name con­fess

With him let us adore Thee.

Grant that we heark­en to his cry

Repent

the king­dom draw­eth nigh

And seek Thee

Christ our Sav­ior.

Thou art in­deed God’s ho­ly Son

Beloved of Him so dear­ly

The migh­ty works that Thou hast done

Reveal Thy God­head clear­ly:

The blind can see

the sick are healed

The lips once dumb are now un­sealed

All pow­er is Thine

dear Je­sus!

Thou art our peace

our right­eous­ness

The rock of our sal­va­tion.

Clothed in Thy garb of ho­li­ness

We fear no con­dem­na­tion.

Thy blood has cleansed away our sin

Through Thee eter­nal life we win

O cru­ci­fied Re­deem­er!
