#727: Lord Christ, When First You Came to Earth

[lutheranhymns]

This would also be a good fit for the Christ the King mini-section; it talks about Jesus' "saving kingship's worth," how the "nations' pride" will be "o'erthrown," and then "the kingdom of your peace." We also get the phrase "our vaunt is stilled," where "vaunt" as a noun means "an instance of vaunting," and "vaunt" as a verb is "boast, brag." I get that they can't use "pride" because they used it in the previous line, but still, this is fairly archaic for a progressive text that seems to be from the 20th century!
