New Christmas Hymns - Here In Love Our Saving Story Sealed
Here is a modern Christmas hymn, a beautiful and powerful song praising the coming of Christ into the world and celebrating the meaning of the Incarnation.
From the album, “The Reason Why He Came,” a collection of 10 contemporary Christian Christmas songs. These are modern Christmas hymns and praise songs, celebrating that wonderful reason – that perfect love – that led the Son of God from the mansions of heaven to the lowly stable stall.
Here In Love Our Saving Story Sealed
A blessed night, a darkened world, a lowly hour,
A night of wonder, sacred story, holy power.
Unto our race the perfect Son of God is born,
Our perfect cure is now revealed on Christmas morn.
A righteous branch from Jesse’s tree, a seed to grow,
A scepter claimed to vanquish now the wretched foe.
The light from light, the word of God to earth descends,
The infant King whose perfect love our world transcends.
Born a child in time,
Light from Light he came.
His the Gospel to our wretched race to now proclaim.
Scepter raised to rule,
He our saving song,
Hope now breaks in dawning sky by holy angel throng.
Sent to earth, the Savior, who was born in humble stall,
Angel voices chorused through the skies.
Christ the Lord to walk the path to bear the greatest fall,
For our sinful race one day to rise.
In this blessed myst’ry of salvation once foretold,
God’s eternal plan is now revealed.
Christ, the blessed baby, our redemption to unfold,
Here in love our saving story sealed.
In hope we searched the word, the skies, and in our souls,
With desperate plea to seek the One whose love consoles.
The God who came to be familiar with our ways.
To lead us to the Kingdom come and endless days.
Our Savior walked our rugged roads to share his love,
And raise our mortal lives from sin to realms above.
The baby born in stable poor, our brother true,
Who grew in strength to seek the cross for me and you.
Born a child in time,
Light from Light he came.
His the Gospel to our wretched race to now proclaim.
Scepter raised to rule,
He our saving song,
Hope now breaks in dawning sky by holy angel throng.
Sent to earth, the Savior, who was born in humble stall,
Angel voices chorused through the skies.
Christ the Lord to walk the path to bear the greatest fall,
For our sinful race one day to rise.
In this blessed myst’ry of salvation once foretold,
God’s eternal plan is now revealed.
Christ, the blessed baby, our redemption to unfold,
Here in love our saving story sealed.
Our Messiah, Savior King,
Now to you our anthems ring.
Holy myst’ry, heaven’s plan,
Raising broken fallen man.
In our human form God came,
He the perfect righteous name.
Christ our rescue, child is born,
On this blessed Christmas morn.
The baby soon to grow and walk the narrow way,
His mission to redeem our race, our debt to pay.
From crèche to cross the journey for our wretched race.
The One who left his mansion throne to take our place.
Oh Son of God who to the earth in time arrived,
To be our living sign, our life in love revived.
Our true messiah who deserves the highest praise.
To you our prayers and holy anthems now we raise.
Born a child in time,
Light from Light he came.
His the Gospel to our wretched race to now proclaim.
Scepter raised to rule,
He our saving song,
Hope now breaks in dawning sky by holy angel throng.
Sent to earth, the Savior, who was born in humble stall,
Angel voices chorused through the skies.
Christ the Lord to walk the path to bear the greatest fall,
For our sinful race one day to rise.
In this blessed myst’ry of salvation once foretold,
God’s eternal plan is now revealed.
Christ, the blessed baby, our redemption to unfold,
Here in love our saving story sealed.
