From the Parent’s Heart, the Firstborn (Corde natus ex parentis)
Author: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius; Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: Irregular Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Jesus Christ Birth of First Line: Corde natus ex parentis (From the Parent’s heart, the firstborn) Lyrics: Corde natus ex parentis
Ante mundi exordium
A et O cognominatus,
ipse fons et clausula
Omnium quae sunt, fuerunt,
quaeque post futura sunt.
Saeculorum saeculis.
1 From the Parent’s heart, the firstborn
when no worlds had been begun,
this is Alpha and Omega,
source and end that join as one
all that is now, ever has been,
and in future will be done,
evermore and evermore.
2 Word who ordered and created,
by whose word all came to be,
calling forth threefold creation:
heaven, earth, encircling sea,
filled with life that shares the moon’s glow
and the sun’s warm energy,
evermore and evermore.
3 Here is One whom seers and sages
longed to know in ancient days,
One foretold by faithful prophets,
singing with their hearts ablaze.
So shines forth the One long promised,
who inspires all creatures’ praise,
evermore and evermore.
4 Let the highest heavens ring out
with angelic melody.
All who have the pow’r to praise God,
sing, wherever you may be.
Let no mortal tongue keep silent;
voices, blend in harmony,
evermore and evermore. Scripture: Matthew 13:17 Used With Tune: DIVINUM MYSTERIUM Text Sources: “Corde natus ex parentis,” 4th–5th c.

Left for us his glad abode;
Stooping from his throne of bliss,
To this darksome wilderness.
He has come! the Prince of Peace;
Come to bid our sorrows cease;
Come to scatter with his light
All the shadows of our night.
2 He the mighty King has come!
Making this poor earth his home;
Come to bear our sin's sad load;
Son of David, Son of God!
He has come, whose name of grace
Speaks deliverance to our race;
Left for us his glad abode;
Son of Mary, Son of God!
3 Unto us a child is born!
Ne'er has earth beheld a morn,
Among all the morns of time,
Half so glorious in its prime.
Unto us a Son is given!
He has come from God's own heaven,
Bringing with him from above
Holy peace and holy love.

The earliest Christmas morn,
When in the cold December
The Saviour Christ was born.
No star unfolds its glory,
No trumpet wind is blown,
But tells the Christmas story
In music of its own.
2 O never-failing splendor!
O never-silent song!
Still keep the green earth tender,
Still keep the gray earth strong,
Still keep the brave earth dreaming
Of deeds that shall be done,
While children’s lives come streaming
Like sunbeams from the sun.
3 O angels sweet and splendid,
Throng in our hearts and sing
The wonders which attended
The coming of the King;
Till we too, boldly pressing
Where once the shepherds trod,
Climb Bethlehem’s Hill of Blessing,
And find the Son of God.
Amen. Used With Tune: CHENIES
The sky can still remember
