|
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, |
|
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand; |
|
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, |
|
Here came the wise men from orient land. |
|
The king of kings lay thus in lowly manger, |
|
In all our trials born to be our friend; |
|
|
|
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger. |
|
|
Behold your king! Before him lowly bend! |
|
|
Behold your king! Before him lowly bend! |
|
|
Truly he taught us to love one another, |
|
His law is love and his gospel is peace; |
|
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother, |
|
And in his name all oppression shall cease. |
|
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, |
|
Let all within us praise his holy name; |
|
|
|
Christ is the lord, oh praise his name forever! |
|
|
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim! |
|
|
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim! |
