Lyrics:
1.O Holy One of Israel, Messiah come to us;
O Holy One of Israel, Messiah come to us;
To save and to redeem the captives, thus the universe to bless,
O Holy One of Israel, Messiah come to us.
Prophets joyfully foretold, Angels witnessed unto man:
Now fulfilled the covenant Made before the world began.
2.Son of th’ Eternal Father, of Mary born to earth;
Son of th’ Eternal Father, of Mary born to earth;
Heav’nly hosts awaited this the hum-ble, royal birth.
Son of th’Eternal Father, born of Mary to the earth.
Prophets joyfully foretold, Angels witnessed unto man:
Now fulfilled the covenant Made before the world began.
3.He would be known as Jesus, as a mortal humbly live.
He would be known as Jesus, a mortal humbly live,
To atone and save us, his spotless life would give.
He would be known as Jesus, as a mortal humbly live.
