Tune: Winchester Old
(\'While shepherds watched\')
John 1 v.14-18
********
The Word, Jesus, was made flesh, dwelt
Midst us, His presence felt
He full human and full divine
With God\'s glory did shine
They who beheld Him in person
Did see Him, Christ the one
Saw His glory, sole begotten
Of the Father, [is] the Son
He full of truth and full of grace
John Baptist saw His face
And said, This is He, it sure be
He be greater than me
And of His fulness we all may
Receive of Him today
And of His grace, for see, the law
Was given by Moses sure
But grace and truth came by Jesus
Christ, He comes unto us
No one has seen God any time
Through life\'s ways and rhymes
But Christ, the only begotten
Son of the Father, one
He in and from the Father\'s heart
[The] Father to us imparts
