This Kingo hymn actually only ever contained four verses!

Mighty God and Saviour mine

Mighty God and Saviour mine,

Who is there with power divine

That with thine can be compared?

No one has from Adam shared

Such a father, or such kin,

Such a mother free from sin,

That a virgin son has born.

John the Baptist, O great Lord,

Who so early walked abroad,

To proclaim thee to the world,

Stated clearly, so folk heard,

He was but a voice that called,

Preaching solace unto all

Who by sin were worn and torn.

He felt quite unworthy too

Thy shoe’s latchet to undo!

What am I then, Adam’s child,

Nought but dust, dirt, filth reviled!

I lack every shred of worth

To walk where thou trodst on earth,

Or within thy courts to bide.

Root of Jesse, Jesu sweet,

I by prayer and penance meet

Will for thee a place prepare

In my soul and heart to share:

Visit it and shape it best,

Enter in and be my guest,

Grant a blessed Christmastide.
