Christmas Light

Light From the Morning Star

He came as an Infant to Bethlehem’s stall,

That night long ago, as the angels did call-

Their loud Hallelujah’s rang out through the sky:

Announcing the Christ-Child, sent down from on high.

He came to the world in its darkness and night,

To be our Redeemer - become the world’s Light;

The people in darkness a great Light have seen-

In death’s blackest shadows so long they have been.

Up Calvary’s hill did this Prince of Peace trod,

Fulfilling redemption as planned out by God:

For He paid our ransom through death on the tree-

Arose in great triumph that we can be free!

The love, life and light from the Bright Morning Star

Still penetrates darkness, though near or afar-

Illuminates wholly, each life where it shines,

Thus hope springs alive and dark death no more dines.

Now “Glory to God!” with the angels we sing,

For sending His Son and for light He did bring;

From bondage and darkness He truly sets free-

“We bring now ourselves, Lord, as gifts for just Thee!”

-Keturah
