The robe of Him who filled the temple,
the heavenly host of myriads around.
Standing in fear Isaiah trembled,
Thou art the One who to us, came down.

Into this corrupt habitation,
thy Son of the Most High.
Off His throne to dwell in creation,
thy Infinite drawn nigh.

Unrighteousness clouded this world,
`twas the state from days of old.
In Him the promises unfurled,
this the prophets hath foretold.

The Eternal God whose name is Holy,
given to us in human likeness.
Behold, a King, yet gentle and lowly,
the fulfillment of all righteousness.

Amongst the darkness shines a star,
guiding our eyes to behold this child.
Coming down from a land so far,
The Shepherd of a people exiled.

Brought low in the manager Immanuel lay,
swaddled in cloth; cobwebs His curtain.
Brought lower in death; the cross His array.
His mission to make salvation certain.
