The Father???s sole begotten Son Was born, the virgin???s Child, on earth; His cross for us adoption won, The life and grace of second birth. Forth from the height of Heav???n He came, In form of man with man abode; Redeemed His world from death and shame, The joys of endless life bestowed. Redeemer, come with power benign, Dwell in the souls that look for Thee; O let Thy light within us shine That we may Thy salvation see. Abide with us, O Lord, we pray, Dispel the gloom of doubt and woe; Wash every stain of guilt away, Thy tender healing grace bestow. Lord, Thou hast come, and well we know That Thou wilt likewise come again; Thy kingdom shield from every foe, Thy honor and Thy rule maintain. Eternal glory, Lord, to Thee, Whom, now revealed, our hearts adore; To God the Father glory be, And Holy Spirit evermore.
