EN 5209 The Holy Son of God Most High
Phil.2.7
Versi Version 1
1
The holy Son of God most high,
For love of Adam’s lapsed race,
Quit the sweet pleasures of the sky
To bring us to that happy place.
2
His robes of light He laid aside,
Which did His majesty adorn,
And the frail state of mortals tried,
In human flesh and figure born.
3
Whole choirs of angels loudly sing
The mystery of His sacred birth,
And the blest news to shepherds bring,
Filling their watchful souls with mirth.
4
The Son of God thus man became,
That men the sons of God might be,
And by their second birth regain
A likeness to His deity.
