V . THE HYMN
Lo ! now a thrilling Voice sounds forth,
And chides the da rkened shades of earth .
Away pale dreams, dim shadows fly,Christ inHis might doth shine on high .
The Lamb of God is sent below,
Himself to pay the debt we owe .
O ! for this gift let every voice! ith heartfelt songs and tears rej oice .
The blessed author of all time,
T ook mortal form to free from crime .
Le st lost should be those whom He made,
And with His flesh , flesh’s ransom paid .
And 10 ! with heavenly grace instilled ,A mo ther’s bosom chaste is filled .
Behold a Virgin’s body bears,T he mystery of endless years .
II is home He makes her spotless breast .T emple meet
,for God to rest .
Inviolate this holy one
Conceives and bears the eternal Son!
To Him who comes the world to free,To God , the Son , all glory be .
To God the Father , as is meet,To God the Blessed Paraclete . Amen.
