Here is a new contemporary hymn celebrating the One who came as a baby to bring the dawn of our salvation.
From the album, “Our Holy Infant King,” a collection of 10 original contemporary Christian Christmas songs, celebrating the wonder and joy of the Incarnation and the power of the Son of God who took on flesh to save us from our sins!
Lo, the Dawn of Man's Salvation
Darkest night of solemn season,
Man in broken sinful state.
Separation, sin, and treason,
Sealed by Satan’s cruel hate.
In the midst of trial and sorrow,
Held in bonds of our design.
Seeking hope for man’s tomorrow,
Waiting here for heaven’s sign.
Solemn promise, soul’s restoring,
Brilliant radiance fills the sky.
Infant child the hosts adoring,
Now in perfect love draws nigh.
Born this night in humble stable,
Offers hope with sweetest sigh.
Soon to spread the wedding table,
Infant King, our God Most High.
Shepherds now this child defending,
His affection never ending.
Our redemption he is bringing,
Angels now in heaven singing.
Lo the Dawn of Man’s salvation,
Child to rule one sovereign nation.
Sleeping still in stable lowly,
He the One our Savior holy.
Lord in glory now descending,
God in flesh has come to earth.
All our fear his love transcending,
Peace now kindled by his birth.
Priest and prophet Liberator,
He the perfect sacrifice,
God with us, no other greater,
Son to pay the ransom price.
Dawn now breaks, anticipation,
Now in flesh the Savior child.
Freedom ours, emancipation,
One so holy meek and mild.
Born this night in humble stable,
Offers hope with sweetest sigh.
Soon to spread the wedding table,
Infant King, our God Most High.
Shepherds now this child defending,
His affection never ending.
Our redemption he is bringing,
Angels now in heaven singing.
Lo the Dawn of Man’s salvation,
Child to rule one sovereign nation.
Sleeping still in stable lowly,
He the One our Savior holy.
All our fear, our Lord dispelling,
Incarnation so compelling,
We his children deeply pleading,
Now for us his love is leading.
In the manger Savior sleeping,
Soon our souls his love is reaping,
With his touch our hearts are healing,
Our salvation he is sealing.
Now the Son in heaven standing,
Child to man, the plan fulfilled.
Angel hosts our Lord commanding,
His the Kingdom now to build.
Church his Bride is daily growing,
She transformed by joy and trial.
Called to harvest from the sowing,
And to walk the narrow mile.
Lord of Hosts born in the manger,
Sovereign Savior, gift of love.
Rescued us from hellish danger,
Called us home to realms above.
Born this night in humble stable,
Offers hope with sweetest sigh.
Soon to spread the wedding table,
Infant King, our God Most High.
Shepherds now this child defending,
His affection never ending.
Our redemption he is bringing,
Angels now in heaven singing.
Lo the Dawn of Man’s salvation,
Child to rule one sovereign nation.
Sleeping still in stable lowly,
He the One our Savior holy.
