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