Once the highest and the holy
Became the least and lovely
The prince became a pauper
In a land without a sun
And the glory of this stranger
Shone so brightly from the manger
And once we saw the precious sight
We knew the light had come
Once and for all
The Father sent a Savior
Once and for all
The earth received her King
And singing thru the night
Came the song of the ages
A song of love that no one else could bring
Once and for all, He is born, He is born
Once and for all!
(The Savior)
Once the world lay bare in winter
And the cold was lingering
When the tiny rose of Sharon came
And clothed the earth in spring
And the seed of hope that long lay hidden
Buried 'neath the sod
It blossomed forth in victory
The mighty son of God!
Once and for all
The Father sent a Savior
Once and for all
The earth received her King
And singing thru the night
Came the song of the ages
A song of love that no one else could bring
Once and for all, He's alive, He's alive
Once and for all!
The veil of dark has vanished
The dawning has begun
Now I stand redeemed in the rising of the sun
Once and for all
The Father sent a Savior
Once and for all
The earth received her King
And singing thru the night
Came the song of the ages
A song of love that no one else could bring
Once and for all, He is born, He is born
Once and for all, He's alive, He's alive
Once and for all, I am His
Once and for all!
Once and for all!
For all!
