Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

The Lord is come! On Syrian soil 
The Lord is come! On Syrian soil, the child of poverty and toil; the Man of Sorrows, born to know each varying shade of human woe: his joy, his glory, to fulfill, in earth and heaven, his Father's will; on lonely mount, by festive board, on bitter cross, despised, adored. 
The Lord is come! In him we trace the fullness of God's truth and grace; throughout those words and acts divine gleams of the eternal splendor shine; and from his inmost Spirit flow, as from a height of sunlit snow, the rivers of perennial life, to heal and sweeten nature's strife. 
The Lord is come! In every heart where truth and mercy claim apart; in every land where right is might, and deeds of darkness shun the light; in every church where faith and love lift earthward thoughts to things above; in every holy, happy home, we bless thee, Lord, that thou hast come.
