Light
Light, uncreated shone upon the earth,
born within the stable by virgin birth.
Light immortal descending from above
embracing the world with God's perfect love.
Light, resplendent illuminates the way,
dispels all darkness and brightens each day.
Light, inextinguishable e'en in death.
Cries 'Father forgive' with His dying breath.
Light, indestructible bursts from the grave
rising victorious His loved ones to save.
Light, all glorious ascending on high
hidden from sight by the clouds in the sky.
Light, everlasting will appear again
with His great glory and angelic train.
Light, eternal will still blaze on and on
when all this earths light has darkened and gone.
