1 The ancient Law departs, And all its fears remove, For Jesus makes with faithful hearts A covenant of love. 2 The Light of Light divine, True brightness undefiled, He bears for us the pain of sin, A holy, spotless child.
3 His infant body now Begins the cross 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.
5 All praise, eternal Son, For Thy redeeming love, With Father, Spirit, ever one In glorious might above.
