For Our God Has Come to Earth

Release year: 2024

Verse 1
Silent, trembling, over-awed
   All creation hails this hour
Here, O man, behold your God
   Marvel at His saving power

He with you, His rebel creature
   Feeble, mortal, sinful, lowly
Shares His uncreated nature
   Glorious, pure, eternal, holy
For our God has come to earth
For our God has come to earth

Verse 2
Righteousness comes down from Heav’n
   Faithfulness springs up from earth
For a slave, a Son is giv’n
   Noblest Lord of humblest birth

For th’Immortal at His coming
   By His grace, not for our merit
Our mortality assuming
   Wears our flesh and breathes His Spirit
For our God has come to earth
For our God has come to earth

Verse 3
See the Godhead manifest
   In the Infant’s lowly form
Nourished from the Virgin’s breast
   In the manger swaddled warm

Yet as once the womb of Mary
   Bore Him at the Father’s pleasure
Now in earthen jars we carry
   Christ, our everlasting treasure
For our God has come to earth
For our God has come to earth

Verse 4
Come to us, O Word made Flesh
   Make Your face on us to shine
Let Your Spirit fall afresh
   Fill us with Your life divine

Bear us up, Your new creation
   From one glory to another
Save us by Your Incarnation
   Jesus, splendor of the Father
For our God has come to earth
For our God has come to earth

End
Sing the glory of the Father
   Praise the Son and hail His birth
Glorify the Holy Spirit
   Let all creatures now declare it
For our God has come to earth
For our God has come to earth
