The Divine became human so that human beings might become divine.” — Athanasius the Great
“Thus God has given us precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature.”– 2 Peter 1:4
For Christmas
Tune: CANDLER (YE BANKES AND BRAES)
1
O who are we to hear the song,
the dazzling news awaited long,
that in a little town forlorn
eternal Mercy has been born?
O who are we? Your flesh and bone!
We’re siblings, Child, your very own.
We’re one with you in breath and birth,
the life of God upon the earth.
2
O who are we to hurry there,
to meet the Hope that mends despair,
entrusting to your gleaming star
our wildest dreams and all we are?
O who are we? Your flesh and bone!
We’re siblings, Child, your very own.
We’re one with you in breath and birth,
the life of God upon the earth.
3
O who are we to bend and gaze,
and lose ourselves in thanks and praise
that trampled hearts now have a chance
to sing again, to laugh and dance?
O who are we? Your flesh and bone!
We’re siblings, Child, your very own.
We’re one with you in breath and birth,
the life of God upon the earth.
4
O who are we to have a part
in God’s own life, in God’s own heart,
and know that when God looks at you,
forevermore God sees us, too?
O who are we? Your flesh and bone!
We’re siblings, Child, your very own.
We’re one with you in breath and birth,
the life of God upon the earth.
