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 To-day the Name is Thine,
At which we bend the knee;
They call Thee Jesus, Child divine!
Our Jesus deign to be.
