Light, uncreated shining upon the earth
born within the stable by virgin birth.
Light, immortal descending from above;
embracing the world with God's perfect love.

Light, resplendent illuminating the way,
dispelling the darkness and brightening the day.
Light, inextinguishable even in death,
crying 'Father forgive' with His dying breath.

Light, indestructible bursting from the grave,
rising victorious His loved ones to save.
Light, all glorious ascending on high,
hidden from sight by the clouds in the sky.

Light, everlasting will appear again
with His great glory and angelic train.
Light, eternal forever blazing on
when all earths light has darkened and gone.
