For Unto Us

Original tune: Lift Up Your Heads; Thomas Williams’ Psalmodia Evangelica, (Truro) 1789.


For unto us the Christ is born, behold the Savior, we adore.
The Creator transcends our space; the wisdom of his wondrous grace.

He came to live among his own; he had no place to call his home.
We heard his voice, we saw his face; the beauty of his loving grace.

He knew us all, we knew him not; twas born to fill the Father’s plot.
A cruel world, his arms embrace; the power of amazing grace.

Our hope is born, the light of men, how Jesus came to die for sin.
The Ransomed sing from ev’ry race; the music of his saving grace.
