The pre-existent Word then came
Mortal human he became
From Bethlehem’s crude baby bed
To Calvary’s cross on which he bled
Emblem of divine empathy
Magnanimous mentality
Assuming mortal state
Cancelling sinful fate
Certified make amends
Dying pardon to record
Rising justification to accord
Ascending earth and heaven’s Judge
Eschatological come again
Then in Bethlehem shepherd’s plain
Sight all the world witnesses
The global court
Declaring, proclaiming, owning
You are Lord.
