Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Our Great Redeemer's Praise #177 (2022) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Scripture: John 1:1-18 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. Topics: Jesus, Conceived and Born Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: MYSTERIUM
