EN 5204 All Wise, All Good, Almighty Lord

Phil.2.7

Versi Version 1

1

All wise, all good, almighty Lord,

Jesus, by highest Heav’n adored,

Ere time its course began;

How did Thy glorious mercy stoop,

To take Thy fallen children up,

When Thou Thyself wert man?

2

Th’eternal God from Heav’n came down;

The King of glory dropped His crown

And veiled His majesty;

Emptied of all but love He came,

Jesus, I call Thee by the Name,

Thy pity bore for me.

3

O holy Child, still let Thy birth

Bring peace to us poor worms of earth,

And praise to God on high!

Come, Thou who didst my flesh assume;

Now to the abject sinner come,

And in a manger lie.

4

Didst Thou not in person join

The natures human and divine,

That God and man might be

Henceforth inseparably one?

Haste then and make Thy nature known

Incarnated in me.

5

In my weak, sinful flesh appear,

O God, be manifested here,

Peace, righteousness and joy;

Thy kingdom, Lord, set up within

My faithful heart; and all my sin,

The devil’s work, destroy.

6

I long Thy coming to confess,

The mystic power of godliness,

The life divine to prove:

The fulness of Thy life to know,

Redeemed from all my sins below,

And perfected in love.

7

O Christ, my Hope, make known to me

The great, the glorious mystery

The hidden life impart;

Come, Thou Desire of nations, come,

Formed in a spotless virgin’s womb,

A pure, believing heart.

8

Come quickly, dearest Lord, that I

May own, tho’ Antichrist deny,

Thy incarnation’s power:

May cry, a witness to my Lord,

“Come in my flesh is Christ the Word,

And I can sin no more!”
