The God we seek, beyond all thought

The God we seek, beyond all thought,
has now his Christmas wonder wrought:
behold, the seeker is the sought!
Waiting ended, man befriended:
Jesus is born!

2. Love is the manger where he lies,
love is the cross on which he dies;
stronger than death shall love arise!
Glorious meekness, power in weakness:
Jesus is born!

3. Into the love of Christ the King
our lives, our world, in faith we bring:
the sin, the pain, the suffering.
God esteems us, Christ redeems us:
Jesus is born!
