God with Us


What wonder comes and awe inspired

when incarnation thought

that God would dwell with mortal man

whom He salvation brought


Creator God twas formed in flesh

eternal born in time

upon one day thus set aside

commissioned by divine


Existed He from ages all

thru matron virgin birthed

the promised one from eld of time

now present here on earth


The omnipresent thus became

specific within time

as entered He within the realm

of perfect paradigm


The light made entrance in the dark

the way for wearied bleak

from Heaven's throne the Sovereign King

the strong became as weak


Begotten Son not formed nor made

in mother's womb He shaped

short there to live until noel

brought forth as helpless babe


Maker of man became a soul

this ruler of the stars

to feed at breast and eat of bread

to drink from fountains carved


The Son of God without begin

appeared as mortal man

who suffered evil though did none

redemption's purposed plan


The truth accused by witness false

the Judge condemned for wrong

came forth the good for wicked hearts

the trying hateful throng


The healer born to suffer wounds

the chaste undignified

the courage weakened by onslaught

security maligned


The disciplined bore scourge with whips

formed grapes yet crowned with thorns

though world's foundation He produced

suspend from cross of scorn


Though life He gave yet came to die

the worthy pure demeaned

to free the sinful souls of men

that separated breed


And though not all will yield to Him

yet He did come to them

by incarnation He brought forth

God's benefits to men
