The ancient law departs
And all its terrors cease;
For Jesus makes with faithful hearts
A covenant of peace.
|
|
The Light of Light divine,
True Brightness undefiled,
He bears for us the shame of sin,
A holy, spotless Child.
|
|
Today the Name is thine,
At which we bend the knee;
They call the Jesus, Child divine!
Our Jesus deign to be.
