|
<p>This night a wondrous revelation<br>
|
|
Makes known to me God’s love and grace;<br>
|
|
The Child that merits adoration<br>
|
|
Brings light to our benighted race;<br>
|
|
And though a thousand suns did shine,<br>
|
|
Still brighter were that Light divine.</p>
|
|
<p>The Sun of Grace for thee is beaming;<br>
|
|
Rejoice, my soul, in Jesus’ birth!<br>
|
|
The light from yonder manger streaming<br>
|
|
Sends forth its rays o’er all the earth.<br>
|
|
It drives the night of sin away<br>
|
|
And turns our darkness into day.</p>
|
|
<p>This Light, which all thy gloom can banish,<br>
|
|
The bliss of heaven glorifies;<br>
|
|
When sun and moon and stars shall vanish,<br>
|
|
Its rays shall still illume the skies.<br>
|
|
This light through all eternity<br>
|
|
Thy heaven and all to thee shall be.</p>
|
|
<p>O Jesus, precious Sun of Gladness,<br>
|
|
Fill Thou my soul with light, I pray.<br>
|
|
Dispel the gloomy night of sadness<br>
|
|
And teach Thou me this Christmas Day<br>
|
|
How I a child of light may be,<br>
|
|
Aglow with light that comes from Thee.</p>
