O Sacred Child

 O Sacred Child

In manger lay.

Came to redeem His own,

From weak and helpless babe in crib

To Saviour on the throne.

 

O Sacred Child,

The Warrior King

Crushed the serpent’s head.

He took away our guilt and shame,

And death – He struck down dead.

 

O Sacred Child

The Way , The Truth

Has conquered Satan’s lies

And we’re washed in Jesu’s blood

As on the cross He died.

 

O Sacred Child

The Bread of Life,

Holy food He gives!

Forbidden Fruit, no longer ours

For now in Him we live.

 

O Sacred Child

Born in flesh

Now sits in heavenly courts.

No longer in the garden, sad –

A sinless Bride He’s bought.

 

O Sacred Child

Lord over all,

Comes to give new life:

Second Adam – God and Man

Second Eve – The Church, His Wife.

 

O Sacred Child

The Law fulfilled,

We are condemned no more.

We enter into eternal life

Through Christ, the Heavenly Door.

 

O Sacred God,

O Holy Man

Will return again

And every person on this earth

Will bow before His Name!
