182 A great and mighty wonder

1 A great and mighty wonder Our Christmas festival brings: 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 Savior 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.
