For Men of Every Nation by Joel Hunsberger — Lyrics
1. For men of every nation Christ came to Earth,
The author of salvation to a lowly birth.
and wise men saw the star that would lead to the humble bed,
and the Angels rejoiced at the Seed that would bruise Satan's head.
(Chorus)
Joy To The World! While Shepherds watched their flocks,
Thou didst leave Thy Throne and Thy Kingly Crown!
Let all Nations Sing; He is Born a King!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! O, Come let us adore Him!
Christ, the Lord.
2. All we like sheep have gone astray, turned our own way,

About For Men of Every Nation
This SATB anthem brings a message of universal hope and salvation at Christmas. The text paints a vivid picture of Christ's humble birth, heralded by wise men following a star and by the joyous proclamation of angels. It emphasizes that Jesus came for all people, of every nation, as the author of salvation. The lyrics also reflect on humanity's straying like sheep, and the profound sacrifice made in the manger. The chorus, a powerful call to adore the newborn King, echoes the sentiment of "Joy to the World!" and "Hallelujah," uniting all in celebration of the Lord's birth.
