Compilers of Hymns Ancient & Modern The ancient law departs And all its terrors cease; For Jesus makes with faithful hearts A covenant of peace. The Light of Light divine, True Brightness undefiled, He bears for us the shame of sin, A holy, spotless Child. Today the Name is thine, At which we bend the knee; They call the Jesus, Child divine! Our Jesus deign to be. Amen. |
