To us a Child of royal birth
|
To us a Child of royal birth, Heir of the promises, is given; The invisible appears on earth, The Son of Man, the God of heaven. A Saviour born, in love supreme, He comes our fallen souls to raise; He comes his people to redeem, With all the fulness of his grace. The Christ, by raptured seers foretold, Filled with the eternal Spirit's power, Prophet, and Priest, and King behold, And Lord of all the worlds adore. The Lord of Hosts, the God most high, Who quits his throne on earth to live, With joy we welcome from the sky, With faith into our hearts receive. |
Regalis puer generis promissus heres est datus; videtur invisibilis humanus hic, supra Deus. Amore nati Vindicis caducae surgunt animae; redemptio fit hominis cum plenitate gratiae. Quem cecinere praescii, inflavit Christum Spiritus; is Praestes, Rex (veremini!), Vates, mundorum Dominus. Relicto natus est throno Rector supremus Agminum, excipimus quem e polo dantes in animis locum. |
