Savior of the Nations, Come

The Advent hymn for today is "Savior of the Nations, Come" by (most likely) Ambrose of Milan and later translated into German by Martin Luther.

"Savior of the Nations, Come"

Savior of the nations, come,
Virgin's Son, make here Your home!
Marvel now, O heav'n and earth,
That the Lord chose such a birth.

Not by human flesh and blood,
By the Spirit of our God,
Was the Word of God made flesh -
Woman's offspring, pure and fresh.
