The Maker of the Sun and Moon
VERSE 1
The
Maker of the sun and moon,
The
Maker of our earth,
Lo! late
in time, a fairer boon,
Himself
is brought to birth!
VERSE 2
How
blest was all creation then,
When God
so gave increase;
And
Christ, to heal the hearts of men,
Brought
righteousness and peace!
VERSE 3
No star
in all the heights of heaven
But
burned to see Him go;
Yet unto
earth alone was given
His
human form to know.
VERSE 4
His
human form, by man denied,
Took
death for human sin:
His
endless love, through faith descried,
Still
lives the world to win.
VERSE 5
O
perfect love, outpassing sight,
O light
beyond our ken,
Come down
through all the world tonight,
And heal
the hearts of men!
