Holy Child Who Chose the Hearts Of Men [Russian translation]

“Holy Child who chose the hearts of men

To be His favoured home

Leaving heaven’s gates for Bethlehem

God came to call His own

Now to us the highest King is born

Behold the Royal Son

Glory kneels to mend all that is torn

The promised Child has come

Joy and pain as man He knew on earth

No place to lay His head

As a servant He embraced this world

And on a cross He bled

Having borne the deepest grief of man

He rose to heaven’s throne

Now I’m sheltered in the Father’s hand

I stand by grace alone

May the gift of God amaze us still

The triumph of all time

As His child I kneel to Heaven’s will

To make His purpose mine

Though this road be scarred with trial and pain

It’s paved with lavish grace

Knowing Him will be my greatest gain

My hope the Saviour’s face”
