Hymn 24

Melody
  1. With heart and mouth let all confess
    that God’s eternal Son
    was in the flesh made manifest,
    did not our frailty shun.

  2. Though Christ was humbled unto death,
    enduring curse and shame,
    the Spirit vindicated him
    and magnified his name.

  3. The angels will for evermore
    their songs of triumph sing,
    for they his resurrection saw;
    they welcomed him as King.

  4. Christ Jesus conquered hell and grave;
    all heard the joyful news,
    for he was far and wide proclaimed,
    to Gentiles as to Jews.

  5. His chosen ones believed in him
    throughout this hostile world.
    The banners of his victory
    he everywhere unfurled.

  6. He into glory was received,
    for he the battle won.
    Now at the Father’s side he reigns:
    Christ Jesus, God the Son!
