Christ of Light

[aeglyn]

A starry light drapes Him at night
A perfect babe so blessed with life
Came to earth to make all right
To save a dying world from strife

Born in humble poverty
Raised in spirit strong and true
Full of grace and authority
And from His Father, knowledge grew

Finally, His mission came
To pave the road in flawless stride
His Father’s will He would proclaim
To meekly teach and be our guide

The path He walked, the way of light
Just like that shining star at birth
Was meant to lift our hearts and sight
As His atonement proved His worth

So now it is up to us
To follow where He placed His feet
Fulfilling ev’ry need and thus
We’ll find Him at the mercy seat

Who once came down, an infant boy
Whom angels of creation know
Shining there in perfect joy
The Christ of Light in swaddling clothes
