Savior of the Nations, Come

Text: Martin Luther, 1524, tr. William M. Reynolds, 1860; alt.
Savior of the nations, come;
Virgin’s Son, make here Thy home!
Marvel now, O heav’n and earth,
That the Lord chose such a birth.
Not by human flesh and blood,
By the Spirit of our God
Was the Word of God made flesh,
Woman’s offspring, pure and fresh.
From the Father’s throne He came
And returneth to the same,
Captive leading death and hell.
High the song of triumph swell!
Praise to God the Father sing,
Praise to God the Son, our King,
Praise to God the Spirit be
Ever and eternally.
