The Maker of the sun and moon, 
The Maker of our earth, 
Late in time, a fairer boon, 
Himself is brought to birth
How bless was all creation then, 
When God so gave increase
And Christ, to heal the hearts of men, 
Brought righteousness and peace
No star in all the heights of heaven
But burned to see Him go
Yet unto earth alone was given
His human form to know.
His human form, by man denied, 
Took death for human sin
His endless love, through faith descried, 
Still lives the world to win.
One perfect love, out passing sight, 
One light beyond our ken, 
Come down through all the world tonight, 
And heal the hearts of men
