VERSE 1 
The [A]prophets had glimpsed and the an[Em7]gels had watched with [D2      | D2]awe 
The [A]unfolding plans of our [Em7]faithful, redeeming [D2      | D2]God 
What they [D]longed for we have [Eadd4]seen; what was [F#m7]promised we be[E/G#]lieve 

CHORUS

Our Mess[D]iah now has [Eadd4]come; Word made [F#m7]flesh, the saving [E/G#   <i>to CH, BR</i>]One 

BRIDGE 
[D]All hail the One now rev[E]ealed to the world, in [F#m]Bethlehem born to a y[C#m7]oung virgin girl 
[D]Lamb without blemish yet [E]cruelly betrayed 
Who [F#m]cried, “It is finished!” and ro[C#m7]se from the grave
The [D]Father’s great gift and the [E]proof of His love 
[F#m]Hope of the Ages, our [A/C#]God here w[<i>4/4:</i>]ith [D2  /  /  /  | D2   <i>to CH in 4/4, END</i>] us!
