2 Not of mortal blood or birth,

He descends from heaven to earth:
By the Holy Ghost conceived,
God and man by us believed.

3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child
Of the virgin undefiled!

Though by all the world disowned,
Still to be in heaven enthroned.

4 From the Father forth He came,
And returneth to the same;
Captive leading death and hell,-
High the song of triumph swell!

5 Equal to the Father now,

Though to dust Thou once didst bow,
Boundless shall Thy kingdom be;
When shall we its glories see?

6 Brightly doth Thy manger shine!
Glorious in its light divine:

Let not sin o'ercloud this light,
Ever be our faith thus bright.

Ambrose, (340–397). Martin Luther, 1524.
