OUR DEAR GOD DOES IT ALL FOR YOU! (2008)

​

Above all worlds the Son is born 

 within the Father’s heart,

begotten as Perfection, 

 from His Father not apart.

All Beauty, Truth, and Love they share 

 in boundless sympathy,

and with the Spirit live as One 

 in Holy Trinity.

​

How can it be, this wondrous birth, 

 beyond all explanation?

“Our dear God does it all for you!” 

 sing angels in elation.

​

As Uncreated Light of all the worlds 

 the Son is born,

the pattern of all Time and Space, 

 Creation’s early morn.

The rolling spheres rest in His hand 

 and sound their deep refrain

in harmonies drawn by His Word, r

 evealing His domain.

​

How can it be, this wondrous birth...

​

In Bethlehem the Son is born 

 from Mary’s virgin womb;

the Perfect Man appears on earth 

 midst beauty and perfume.

Archangels sing and stars rejoice, 

 while kings before Him kneel,

for in His birth Heaven’s secret stores 

 their treasures now reveal.

​

How can it be, this wondrous birth...

​

‘Tis Christmas, blessed Christmas, 

 when the circle of the year

reveals its shining Center, 

 and the Son of God comes near,

To melt our frozen hearts with love 

 and take us by the hand,

until the day we too are born 

 in Heaven’s Happy Land!

​

How can it be, this wondrous birth...
