The Son of God

[Verse 1] In Heaven's highest court, the Lord God spoke Lamenting man's dark sin, transgression's yoke "How shall I spare my works undone?" He cried "This race disobedient, fair Eve's misguided bride?" [Chorus] "Behold, I offer my life in his stead" The Son of God in gracious answer said "Account me human, from Thy bosom throned To walk on Earth and ransom souls undone" [Verse 2] "Then take their nature as Thy nature too Be flesh Thyself, of virgin womb anew On Earth, God-man, through love's tender embrace Dwell here among men to redeem their race" [Chorus] "Be Thou on Earth as Thou art Heaven within Taste all life's woes to purge away their sin By death unjust, by sorrows they earned not Regain them from the grave and death's dark plot" [Bridge] O sacrifice divine, immense and high! Ye heavenly hosts, sing praises to the sky! Extol in raptures the triumphant deed Of Him who conquered, though for us He bled [Chorus] All hail the Savior of the fallen man! Who by His death and righteous mercy's plan From depths of woe to glory's heights sublime Redeemed our souls, victorious over time! By death unjust, by sorrows they earned not Regain them from the grave and death's dark plot" [Bridge] O sacrifice divine, immense and high! Ye heavenly hosts, sing praises to the sky! Extol in raptures the triumphant deed Of Him who conquered, though for us He bled [Chorus] All hail the Savior of the fallen man! Who by His death and righteous mercy's plan From depths of woe to glory's heights sublime Redeemed our souls, victorious over time!
