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. | |
