Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #176 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 pain 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.
