Children's Hymnal ‎#166

166. O Beauteous Heavenly Light

Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light,
And usher in the morning;
Ye shepherds, shrink not with affright
But hear the angel's warning.
This child, this little helpless boy,
Shall be our confidence and joy,
The powers of hell o'er throwing
At last our peace bestowing.
