BEHOLD THE VIRGIN'S INFANT CHILD
Don Fortner
(Tune:
It Came Upon A Midnight Clear #90 CMD)
Let ev'ry ransomed sinner sing
And
praise the triune God.
With
grateful hearts, your honors bring.
Let us
extol our God!
The Father gave His darling Son
To
ransom His elect.
The
Lamb was slain ere time begun
Or we
incurred our debt.
In the
fulness of time, Christ came,
(God's
Son in human flesh!)
That He might put away our sin
And
bring in righteousness.
Praise
God the Holy Spirit, too,
For His
almighty grace,
Who
sprinkles Jesus' blood on you
And
gives your conscience peace.
Behold
the virgin's infant child
Was
Jesus come to save!
He was,
and ever will abide,
The
God-man who can save!
Immanuel, the God-man died
And
rose again for us,
With
His own blood appears on high
And claims heaven for us!
