1 Come, see the baby, laid in a manger;
Son of the highest, from heaven come down.
Sent by the Father, hope of his people;
rock and redeemer, Emmanuel is come.
King of the ages, Lord of all glory,
angels rejoiced, singing praise to your Name.
Only begotten Son of the Father,
shepherds drew near to you,
wise men brought homage due,
humbly we offer our all.
2 Horn of salvation, Lion of Judah,
Alpha, Omega, beginning and end.
He formed the heavens, stars in their places;
all of eternity lies in his hands.
3 Christ bore our suffering, pierced for transgressors,
for our iniquities he bled and died.
There at Golgotha carried our burdens,
Satan is vanquished through Christ crucified!
4 Jesus is mighty, King of the nations;
risen, exalted and glorious Lord.
He is my leader, shepherd and brother;
conquering Saviour, forever adored!
