A Christmas Hymn

Come now see the Lord of Heaven in a lowly manger laid
King deserving of a throne room, born a poor, powerless babe
Oh the mystry oh the wonder
Somehow God is one of us
Such is greatness in His kingdom
He descended to our dust
 
Christ the Word, holy expression of the humbleness of God 
Herald of a prideless kingdom, one of sacrificial love
Mighty One who made the heavens
Knelt to wash his brother's feet 
And the earth that He created
He bestowed unto the meek
 
King of glory became nothing
Humbled to the point of death
Stretched His arms out like a beggar 
And forgave with His last breath
What God started with a manger ended with an empty grave
Suffering servant now exalted, Jesus name above all names
 
Light eternal in the darkness
He shall not be overcome
Shining over all our shadows
Every curse has been undone
Heaven breaks forth like the springtime
Through the winter of our souls
Now His life is life abundant is forever ours to know
 
Come now church let us adore him
Tune your heart to sing His grace 
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise 
Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above 
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it Mount of God's redeeming love
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it Mount of God's redeeming love
