New Christmas Hymns - Word Became Flesh (John 1)
Here is a modern Christmas hymn, a beautiful and powerful song praising the coming of Christ into the world and celebrating the meaning of the Incarnation.
From the album, “The Reason Why He Came,” a collection of 10 contemporary Christian Christmas songs. These are modern Christmas hymns and praise songs, celebrating that wonderful reason – that perfect love – that led the Son of God from the mansions of heaven to the lowly stable stall.
For the Infant King Rejoice
In the hour of the sowing,
Shepherds in the wasteland stand.
Longing for redemption growing,
Vision of the Promised Land.
Hosts of heaven sing the glory,
Of the birth of lowly child.
He to write salvation’s story,
Infant Savior meek and mild.
Making haste to see the wonder,
Born this night in stable stall.
Hearts receive the news like thunder,
To their knees in reverence fall.
Our Messiah, King and brother,
Such salvation, like no other.
Holy sign for all the ages,
Written on the sacred pages.
Son to seek and save the lost,
He to pay the greatest cost.
Born to suffer on the tree,
Gives his life to set us free.
How can we, a sinful race,
Now behold Messiah’s face?
Yet the infant Son who cried,
Is the God who for us died.
Let us tremble, holy fear,
God with us, our Savior here.
Lift your hands and raise your voice,
For the infant King rejoice.
Holy Magi, hearts are cheering,
Enter Judah from afar.
In celestial realms appearing,
Our Messiah’s natal star.
Holy glory shines like fire,
Light of Love to earth descends.
Open hearts to now inspire,
Mortal coil our soul transcends.
Making haste to see the wonder,
Born this night in stable stall.
Hearts receive the news like thunder,
To their knees in reverence fall.
Our Messiah, King and brother,
Such salvation, like no other.
Holy sign for all the ages,
Written on the sacred pages.
Son to seek and save the lost,
He to pay the greatest cost.
Born to suffer on the tree,
Gives his life to set us free.
How can we, a sinful race,
Now behold Messiah’s face?
Yet the infant Son who cried,
Is the God who for us died.
Let us tremble, holy fear,
God with us, our Savior here.
Lift your hands and raise your voice,
For the infant King rejoice.
Infant tender,
Such great splendor.
Love unfolding,
Mother holding.
God remaining,
Ruler reigning.
Peace outpouring,
Saints adoring.
Dawn is breaking, Savior sleeping,
Solemn Advent, hope restored.
Days to come, his promise keeping,
Pure redemption our reward.
Taking flesh to soothe our sorrows,
Such a love poured out with grace.
Bringing joy to our tomorrows,
God as man to take our place.
Making haste to see the wonder,
Born this night in stable stall.
Hearts receive the news like thunder,
To their knees in reverence fall.
Our Messiah, King and brother,
Such salvation, like no other.
Holy sign for all the ages,
Written on the sacred pages.
Son to seek and save the lost,
He to pay the greatest cost.
Born to suffer on the tree,
Gives his life to set us free.
How can we, a sinful race,
Now behold Messiah’s face?
Yet the infant Son who cried,
Is the God who for us died.
Let us tremble, holy fear,
God with us, our Savior here.
Lift your hands and raise your voice,
For the infant King rejoice.
