Down from the worlds of ra­di­ant light
Behold the Sav­ior come,
To ran­som souls from end­less night
And bring the wan­der­ers home.

He calls us to His dear em­brace
From mi­se­ry and des­pair,
Bids us re­ceive His won­drous grace,
And seek sal­va­tion there.

We come, Em­ma­nu­el, at Thy call,
Believe Thy glad­den­ing Word,
Renounce our sins, our­selves, our all,
And glo­ry in our Lord.

Salvation to Mes­si­ah’s name
With grate­ful hearts we sing,
And join our voic­es to pro­claim
Our Sav­ior and our king.

Immortal praise to God be­longs
For such un­fathomed love;
Join, all be­low, in rap­tur­ous songs,
And shout, ye hosts ab­ove.
