14218. The Light Of Heaven

1 In yonder stable gleams a light,
Serenely calm, divinely fair;
The King hath come to earth tonight,
Behold Him resting lowly there.

Refrain:
The light of Heaven seems to fold Him
As in a wondrous dress,
In Bethle’m’s manger we behold Him,
The Lord our righteousness;
The light of Heaven seems to fold Him
As in a wondrous dress,
In Bethle’m’s manger we behold Him,
The Lord our righteousness.

2 Behold the Lamb of God from Heav’n,
Bow low before His infant feet;
The pow’r that rescues you and me,
Is vested in that Christ-child sweet. [Refrain]

3 Behold the Man of Galilee,
He rested first in Bethle’m’s stall;
Upon this blessèd, blessèd night,
Come worship Him, your All in All. [Refrain]
