Lyrics
The Ancient Law Departs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The ancient law departs,
And all its terrors cease;
For Jesus makes with faithful hearts
A covenant of peace.
The Light of Light divine,
True brightness undefiled,
He bears for us the shame of sin,
A holy, spotless Child.
His infant body now
Begins our pains to feel;
Those precious drops of blood that flow
For death the victim seal.
Today the Name is Thine,
At which we bend the knee;
They call Thee Jesus, Child divine!
Our Jesus deign to be.
