Let Earth and Heaven Combine

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:9-10 First Line: Let earth and heav'n combine Lyrics: 1 Let earth and heav'n combine, angels and men agree, to praise in songs divine th'incarnate Deity; Our God contracted to a span, our God contracted to a span, incomprehensibly made man. 2 He laid His glory by, He wrapped Him in our clay; unmarked by human eye, the latent Godhead lay; Infant of days He here became, Infant of days He here became, and bore the mild Immanuel’s name. 3 Unsearchable the love that hath the Savior brought; the grace is far above all man or angel thought; Suffice for us that God, we know, suffice for us that God we know our God is manifest below. 4 He deigns in flesh to’appear, widest extremes to join; to bring our vileness near, and make us all divine; And we the life of God shall know, and we the life of God shall know, for God is manifest below. 5 Made perfect first in love, and sanctified by grace; we shall from earth remove, and see His glorious face; Then shall His love be fully shown, then shall his love be fully shown, and man shall then be lost in God.

May the fire of your compassion kindle every land and race. 3 Holy Child within the manger, lead us ever in your way, so we see in every stranger how you come to us today.
