Author: John Mason Neale; Germanus of Constantinople, d. 734 Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 104 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder,
Our Christmas Festal bring;
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 Since all He comes to ransom,
By all be He adored,
The Infant born in Bethlehem,
The Saviour and the Lord!
5 All idol forms shall perish,
And error shall decay,
And Christ shall wield His scepter,
Our Lord and God for aye.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Used With Tune: KOCHER
