The Lamb.

Holy is the light that shines on Bethlehem

This night, a unique night, where everyone converges

Upon this little town where the Lamb is sent

To make peace and reconcile God with His world.

Holy is the light that shines upon the Lamb

Lying newly born, in safety out of danger.

The Lamb who takes away the sins of the world

Laid in a manger, surrounded by shepherds and strangers.

Holy is the light that shines upon you

This Lamb is your substitute!

There is now no excuse to resist being rescued!

The Lamb is God's costly present given to you.

Holy is the light that shines this first Christmas night

Which shines for everyone, everywhere, evermore.

The light of the Lamb that holds His promise of salvation

Eternally, an open invitation from the dawn of creation.
