From the secret place of the Most High

Love came down and now draws nigh

To draw us to His Holy place

To work in us a faith by grace.

The God shaped void we ponder

Our restless souls shall wander

As goes the void so goes our peace

Until we find our rest in Thee

Deepest love

Highest Praise

Mystery reveals

God's Wisest ways

Wrapped up in an infant child

Love and justice reconciled

Emmanuel we place our trust

In the God who is with us.

From beyond the vale of time

The seed that will become the Vine

Ancient of Days in a manger lies

Now men know the God who cries.

Deepest love

Highest Praise

Mystery reveals

God's Wisest ways

Wrapped up in an infant child

Love and justice reconciled

Emmanuel we place our trust

In the God who is with us.
