[The barring of this tune is necessarily irregular. But its performance will be found to be easy if it is remembered that the time-value of a crotchet is the same throughout.]
Μέγα ĸαί παράδοξον θαυμα.
A GREAT and mighty wonder,
|
2 The Word becomes incarnate
|
4 Since all he comes to ransom,
By all be he adored,
The Infant born in Bethl’em,
The Saviour and the Lord.
5. And idol forms shall perish,
And error shall decay,
And Christ shall wield his sceptre,
Our Lord and God for ay.
