From God the Father, Virginborn    

1) From God the Father, virgin born
to us the only Son came down;
by death the font to consecrate,
the faithful to regenerate.

2) Beginning from his home on high,
in human flesh he came to die;
creation by his death restored,
and shed new joys to life abroad.

3) Glide on, O glorious Sun, and bring
the gift of healing on your wing;
to ev'ry dull and clouded sense
the clearness of your light dispense.

4) Abide with us, O Lord, we pray;
the gloom of darkness chase away;
your work of healing, Lord, begin,
and take away the stain of sin.

5) Lord, once you came to earth's domain
and, we believe, shall come again;
be with us on the battlefield,
from ev'ry harm your people shield.

6) To you, O Lord, all glory be
For this your blest epiphany;
to God whom all his hosts adore,
and Holy Spirit evermore.
