Here is a new contemporary Christmas hymn, shouting the brilliance of heaven bursting upon the earthly stage, a celebration of the birth of Jesus in a song of praise!
From the album, “We Have Seen the Dawning Light,” a collection of 10 soulful contemporary Christian Christmas melodies. These songs are Incarnational poetry, giving praise to the Savior who has loved us to the full and saved us from our sins!
Light from Light
Darkest night our sinful race,
Mankind lost and all alone.
Searching, seeking, lacking grace,
Hearts are hard as frozen stone.
Hunger for our God divine,
Hands are raised in earnest prayer.
Calling out for holy sign,
Souls in sorrowed disrepair.
Wondrous sound now fills the earth,
Angel hosts have raised a cry.
Sleeping child, a holy birth,
Son of God Most High…
Light from Light, the Father’s grand design,
Infant child, yet holy and divine.
Bringing peace and sin’s relief,
Calling us to firm belief,
Broken bread and poured out holy wine.
Light from Light, our Savior’s truest peace,
We in bondage finding our release,
Sabbath’s rest and perfect day,
Walking on the holy way,
All our sin and sorrow now will cease.
Humble child, a helpless baby boy,
Sleeping still on manger throne.
He our sin will soon destroy,
From the seed the God has sown.
We are chosen in his love,
Healed and whole as Savior cries.
Raised to heaven’s realms above,
Christ from death will one day rise.
Wondrous sound now fills the earth,
Angel hosts have raised a cry.
Sleeping child, a holy birth,
Son of God Most High…
Light from Light, the Father’s grand design,
Infant child, yet holy and divine.
Bringing peace and sin’s relief,
Calling us to firm belief,
Broken bread and poured out holy wine.
Light from Light, our Savior’s truest peace,
We in bondage finding our release,
Sabbath’s rest and perfect day,
Walking on the holy way,
All our sin and sorrow now will cease.
At the dawn of time a light,
Bursting forth a radiant sign.
Now in Christ our day from night,
Saves us with his love divine…
Shepherds watch and angels sing,
Mother smiles, and kings bow down.
Our redemption God will bring,
Servant King, a thorny crown.
Night gives way to dawning day,
Christ has come, the Prince of Peace.
Child will grow to seek the way,
He our Savior, sin’s release.
Wondrous sound now fills the earth,
Angel hosts have raised a cry.
Sleeping child, a holy birth,
Son of God Most High…
Light from Light, the Father’s grand design,
Infant child, yet holy and divine.
Bringing peace and sin’s relief,
Calling us to firm belief,
Broken bread and poured out holy wine.
Light from Light, our Savior’s truest peace,
We in bondage finding our release,
Sabbath’s rest and perfect day,
Walking on the holy way,
All our sin and sorrow now will cease.
