Sing We of Christ: an Advent hymn

An old masters style painting of the nativity

Sing we of Christ, His coming we proclaim.
King of all Lords, Immanuel His name.
God is with us. The Promised now is here.
Jesus is born and with Him death of fear.

Into a world so cold and dark with sin,
this Christmas God appears in human skin.
Truth fills His frame and grace His every word.
“Winter is gone!” the angels song is heard.

Sing then their song with glad hearts warm and full.
Christ knows our lot of misery and woe.
Fin’lly there’s One who understands and cares.
Glory to God! Let earth sound her fanfare.

People arise, accept this Christ today.
Wrapped in God’s love, He gives Himself away.
Not as a baby does He come this time.
But as our Lord, a man yet God divine.
