conrad susa - where is this stupendous stranger? lyrics

Loading...

where is this stupendous stranger
swains of solyma, advise?
lead me to my master’s manger
show me where my saviour lies

o most mighty! o most holy!
far beyond the seraph’s thought
art thou then so mean and lowly
as unheeded prophets taught?

o the magnitude of meekness!
worth from worth immortal sprung;
o the strength of infant weakness
if eternal is so young!

if so young and thus eternal
michael tune the shepherd’s reed
where the scenes are еver vernal
and the lovеs be love indeed!

see the god blasphem’d and doubted
in the schools of greece and rome;
see the pow’rs of darkness routed
taken at their utmost gloom

nature’s decorations glisten
far above their usual trim;
birds on box and laurels listen
as so near the cherubs hymn
boreas now no longer winters
on the desolated coast;
oaks no more are riv’n in splinters
by the whirlwind and his host

spinks and ouzels sing sublimely
“we too have a saviour born”;
whiter blossoms burst untimely
on the blest mosaic th+rn

god all+bounteous, all+creative
whom no ills from good dissuade
is incarnate, and a native
of the very world he made
