O Christ, Redeemer of our race

Author: Anonymous; Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #79 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: CPWI Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Christ, Redeemer of our race, thou brightness of the Father’s face, of him, and with him ever one, ere times and seasons had begun; 2 thou art that very Light of light, unfailing hope in sin’s dark night, hear thou the prayers thy people pray, The wide world o’er, this blessèd day. 3 Remember, Lord of life and grace, how once, to save a ruined race, thou didst our very flesh assume in Mary’s undefilèd womb. 4 Today, as year by year its light sheds o’er the world a radiance bright, one precious truth is echoed on, ’tis thou hast saved us, thou alone. 5 Thou from the Father’s throne didst come to call his banished children home; and heav’n, and earth, and sea, and shore his love who sent thee here adore. 6 And gladsome too are we today, whose guilt thy blood has washed away; redeemed the new-made song we sing; it is the birthday of our King. 7 O Lord, the virgin-born, to thee eternal praise and glory be, whom with the Father we adore and Holy Ghost forevermore.
