Since Love Came Down

Since Love came down from heaven
and Mary bore God's son,
we now can be forgiven;
blood sacrifice is done.

By one man, all are broken.
By one they called the Christ,
as lamb, slain on the altar,
our final sacrifice.

Perfection in a manger,
this swaddled holy child.
That promise made in Eden,
now we are reconciled.

Born unto us a child,
whose rule shall never cease;
called everlasting Father,
Almighty, Prince of Peace.

​Four hundred years of silence
was broken in a field,
when good news for all people,
to shepherds, was revealed.

God's glory in the highest​!
On earth, his peace to men,
with those whom he finds favor.
Rejoice! Rejoice, again!
