He comes......

O Sovereign God!

You have humbled yourself in order to exalt us.

You became poor so that we might become rich.

You came to us so that we can come to you.

You took upon yourself our humanity in order

to raise us up into eternal life.

All this comes through your grace,

free and unmerited,

all this through your beloved Son,

our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

---- Karl Barth
