Moonless darkness stands between.
Past, the Past, no more be seen!
But the Bethlehem star may lead me
To the sight of Him who freed me
From the self that I have been.
Make me pure, Lord: Thou art holy;
Make me meek, Lord: Thou wert lowly;
Now beginning, and always,
Now begin, on Christmas day.
Thy Nativity, O Christ our God, has shone to the world the light of wisdom;
for by it, those who worshiped the stars
were taught by a star to worship Thee, the Sun of Righteousness,
and to behold Thee, the Dayspring from on high.
O Lord, glory to Thee!
