Behold the great Creator makes

Author: Thomas Pestel, 1584-1659 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #23 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold the great Creator makes Himself a house of clay, A robe of virgin flesh he takes Which he will wear for ay. 2 Hark, hark, the wise eternal Word, Like a weak infant cries! In form of servant is the Lord, And God in cradle lies. 3 This wonder struck the world amazed, It shook the starry frame; Squadrons of spirits stood and gazed, Then down in troops they came. 4 Glad shepherds ran to view this sight; A choir of angels sings, And eastern sages with delight Adore this King of kings. 5 Join then all hearts that are not stone, And all our voices prove, To celebrate this holy One, The God of peace and love.
