Immortal God in Mortal Flesh

Immortal God in Mortal Flesh
M. Justin Wainscott © 2008

Immortal God in mortal flesh,
Our Lord has come to earth.
Incarnate God, he came to bring
The gift of second birth.

Spread gospel tidings all around.
Let sinners celebrate!
For, Christ was born to save us all
From sin’s condemning fate.

In mercy God has sent his Son
To bear the curse of sin;
To hang condemned on Calv’ry’s cross,
And pardon sinful men.

This precious babe of Bethlehem
Will be forever blessed;
He ransomed us from hell’s domain,
To enter heaven’s rest.

So to our great Immanuel,
Glad songs of praise we’ll sing.
From now and through eternity,
He’ll reign, our saving King.
