The Son of a virgin,
Of Joseph, it seemed,
Of princes and paupers
And all in-between,
The Heir of a kingdom
We hoped would appear,
The fruit of our failure,
Our weakness and fear,
Our weakness and fear.

The Son of our scandal,
The Child of our shame,
Immersed in our suffering
Though free of all blame,
Transcendent and holy,
Yet humble by birth,
The rich incarnation
Of heaven and earth,
Of heaven and earth.

In Christ we are family,
In Christ we are one,
A joy and a joining
Here only begun.
We praise You, we bless You,
We lift, we adore
Our God and our Brother,
Christ Jesus our Lord,
Christ Jesus our Lord!
