165. The Ancient Law Departs
1. The ancient law departs,
And all its terrors cease;
For Jesus makes with faithful hearts
A covenant of peace.
2. The light of light divine,
True brightness undefiled,
He bears for us the shame of sin,
A holy, spotless child.
3. His infant body now
Begins our pains to feel;
Those precious drops of blood that flow
For death the victim seal.
4. Today the name is Thine,
At which we bend the knee;
They call Thee Jesus, child divine!
Our Jesus deign to be.
