And the Word in flesh came down among us
Full of truth and grace
And the weary world with glory filled
Sighed beneath its weight.

In summer heat he walked these streets
And spoke on these green hills
And all amazed with hands upraised
When He reached out to heal

Oh broken lives
Oh haunted eyes
Your fears are all allayed
For Christ, of God and man the Son
Has risen from the grave.

Before the light, before the land
Before the tick of time
In holy love the Father, Son
And Spirit intertwined

What glory and what fellowship
You left when you came down
To share our form, to share our shame
That we might share your crown

Oh broken lives
Oh haunted eyes
Your fears are all allayed
For Christ, of God and man the Son
Has risen from the grave

The virgin womb has borne a son
The last will be made first
And glory bought on shameful cross
When God comes down to earth

Oh broken lives
Oh haunted eyes
Your fears are all allayed
For Christ, of God and man the Son
Has risen from the grave
