Yea, He comes, the Prince of Peace! 2 Hail, hosanna, David's Son, 3 Hail, hosanna, David's Son, 2 Still He comes within us, H. Ranke. H. Brueckner, Tr. 3 Thus if thou hast known Him, Nor dost love Him coldly, J. Horn. C. Winkworth, Tr. 87 THOU Redeemer of our race! Come show the Virgin's Son to earth; Let ev'ry age admire the grace; Worthy a God Thy human birth! 2 'Twas by no mortal will or aid, 3 As if from honor's royal hall, Comes forth at length the Mighty One, Whom Son of God and Man they call, Eager His destined course to run. 4 Forth from the Father's bosom sent, 5 An equal at the Father's side, Thou wear'st the trophy of Thy flesh; In Thee our nature shall abide In strength complete, in beauty fresh. 6 With light divine Thy manger streams, That kindles darkness into day; Dimmed by no night henceforth, it beams: Shine through all time with changeless ray. Ambrosius. R. Palmer, Tr. 88 COME, Thou Savior of our race, 2 Not of mortal blood or birth, 3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child Though by all the world disowned, 4 From the Father forth He came, 5 Equal to the Father now, Though to dust Thou once didst bow; 6 Brightly doth Thy manger shine! Ambrosius. W. M. Reynolds, Tr. A 89 BABE is born ||: in Bethlehem;: || 2 He doth within : a manger lie,: || Whose throne is set above the sky, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 3 Stillness was all : the manger round,: || 4 The wise men came, ||: led by the star,: || Gold, myrrh, and incense brought from far, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 5 His mother is : the virgin mild,: || And He the Father's only Child, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 6 Like us, in flesh ||: of human frame, : || 7 The Holy Trinity be praised, Hallelujah ; Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
