lyrics

Our Lord, from virgin womb He crowns
In majesties of blood,
He breathes his first, He cries aloud—
The Everlasting Word.
The virgin veils the great I AM
In raiment for His throne,
The infant rags and manger lay
Are His, and His alone.

That face no prophet ever saw,
The virgin’s eyes arrest;
For God, sustainer of the earth,
Now feeds from woman’s breast.

Our Lord, with cracks of breaking bread,
Disturbs the Paschal feast.
He renders each a single piece
“Now take my flesh and eat.”
He grasps the wine with sounds of thanks
From mouth to mouth he leans,
“Now drink my covenantal blood
For you it pours and streams.”

Each mouth enthroned the great I AM,
Each tongue the victim held,
For God, sustainer of the earth,
Now feeds it with himself.


O Lamb of God, a hymn we'll sing
A festal ode to our great King
Till heaven and earth are filled with saints
In glorious feasting!
