Visions
Inn of Bethlehem
Oh! Ancient inn of Bethlehem
where Christ our Lord did lie,
where shepherds did in reverence bow
while angels watched on high!
By sovereign Grace ordained
the glorious gift was given.
Our God bestowed to human hearts
His blessings and His Heaven!
Two thousand years have come and gone
since those glad angels sang,
and profane eyes behold no change
but only sin and wrong.
Yet Grace shines clear to faithful souls
and Christ our tower strong
will come in power and awesome might
to fulfill the angels' song
Oh come our blessed Redeemer
and meet us in the air,
ah, even so, come quickly, Lord,
this is our church's prayer!
where Christ our Lord did lie,
where shepherds did in reverence bow
while angels watched on high!
By sovereign Grace ordained
the glorious gift was given.
Our God bestowed to human hearts
His blessings and His Heaven!
Two thousand years have come and gone
since those glad angels sang,
and profane eyes behold no change
but only sin and wrong.
Yet Grace shines clear to faithful souls
and Christ our tower strong
will come in power and awesome might
to fulfill the angels' song
Oh come our blessed Redeemer
and meet us in the air,
ah, even so, come quickly, Lord,
this is our church's prayer!
