THIS DAY IS BORN TO YOU A SAVIOUR
Where is the joy at whose fair sight
Sorrow must flee?
O little Child in swaddlings dight,
It is in Thee.
Sorrow must flee?
O little Child in swaddlings dight,
It is in Thee.
Where is the hope within whose light
No fear can be?
O little Child of the presence bright,
It is in Thee.
No fear can be?
O little Child of the presence bright,
It is in Thee.
Where is the love whose gracious might
Makes clean and free?
O Child, in depth, in breadth, in height,
It is in Thee.
Makes clean and free?
O Child, in depth, in breadth, in height,
It is in Thee.
Gift of gifts, we know Thee aright
For eternity;
God of God and Light of Light,
We have all in Thee.
For eternity;
God of God and Light of Light,
We have all in Thee.
