Wartburg Hymnal: for church, school and home 121. A great and mighty wonder

Wartburg Hymnal‎#121

1 A great and mighty wonder,
Our Christmas festal brings;
On earth a lowly Infant,
Behold the King of kings!

2 The Word is made incarnate,
Descending from on high;
And cherubim sing anthems
To shepherds from the sky.

3 And we with them, triumphant,
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be glory,
And peace on earth to men!"

4 While thus they sing your Monarch,
Those bright angelic bands,
Rejoice, ye vales and mountains!
Ye oceans, clap your hands!

5 Since all He comes to ransom,
By all be He adored,
The Infant born in Bethle'm,
The Savior and the Lord!

6 All idol forms shall perish,
And error shall decay,
And Christ shall wield His scepter,
Our Lord and God for aye.
