Methodist-Hymns-136
1: THE Maker of the sun and moon,
The Maker of our earth,
Lo! late in time, a fairer boon,
Himself is brought to birth.
2: How blest was all creation then,
When God so gave increase;
And Christ, to heal the hearts of men,
Brought righteousness and peace.
3: No star in all the heights of heaven
But burned to see Him go;
Yet unto earth alone was given
His human form to know.
4: His human form, by man denied,
Took death for human sin:
His endless love, through faith descried,
Still lives the world to win.
5: O perfect love, outpassing sight,
O Light beyond our ken,
Come down through all the world to-night,
And heal the hearts of men! Amen.
