The Only Son From Heaven Lyrics

1. The only Son from heaven,
Foretold by ancient seers,
By God, the Father, given,
In human shape appears;
No sphere His light confining,
No star so brightly shining
As He, our Morning Star.

2. O time of God appointed,
O bright and holy morn!
He come the King anointed,
The Christ, the virgin-born;
His home on earth He maketh,
And man of heav'n partaketh,
Of life again an heir.

3. O Lord, our hearts awaken,
To know and love Thee more,
In faith to stand unshaken,
In Spirit to adore,
That we still heav'n-ward hasting,
Yet here Thy joy foretasting,
May reap its fullness there.
