This is He whom seers in old timeChanted of with one accord,
Whom the voices of the prophets
Promised in their faithful Word.
Now He shines the long-expected;
Let creation praise its Lord
Evermore and evermore.
--Aurelius Prudentius Clemens (348-c. 413)
LSB #384, st. 3
Wow, I didn't realize Prudentius wrote that. It's become my favorite Christmas hymn of late.
