“Exult in the Saviour’s Birth”: New Advent Song
D.A. Carson and Matt Boswell have written a new song, “Exult in the Savior’s Birth,” which we’ve been singing through this Advent season. It’s a great song for pondering, revering, and adoring the incarnate Christ who is our King from Heaven. It’s available here as a free download.
Here’s an introduction to the song followed by the lyrics:
Verse 1
Shepherds watched
their flocks at night,
attending lowly sheep;
Now within a cattle shed,
a much stranger watch they keep.Today, a Saviour has been born
and He is Christ, the Lord;
Placed within a humble trough,
this baby must be adored.Verse 2
Pagan wise men from the East
seek out the infant King;
Trackless miles behind them lie
and now all their rev’rence bring.They have come to worship Him
with spices and with gold;
Countless millions seek Him still,
who’s advent was long foretold.Verse 3
For to us a child is born,
to us a Son is giv’n;
He shall reign in righteousness,
this Counselor King from heav’n.The government will rest on Him,
He is the mighty God;
Prince of Peace, this gentle King
yet rules with a mighty rod.Verse 4
Scriptures say that Mary’s boy
was born that he might die;
Angel voices burst in praise,
their harmony fills the sky.Sing, “Glory in the highest heav’n!â€
Sing, “Gracious peace on earth!â€
Those on whom His favor rests,
exult in the Saviour’s birth.
