See all creation pure and bright Abounding forth in radiant light Eternal God who made our home And made a people called his own See the darkness enter in All of creation stained with sin Oh what could overcome the night From heaven's throne descends the light From heaven's throne descends the light The hope of promises fulfilled From prophets long foretold The author of all life Behold the Christ Descended down to men then lifted up to die Who crushed the grip of sin Behold the Christ Oh see his Son lay down his life The innocent for those defiled Forgiveness we may now receive Oh sinner, won't you now believe? Oh sinner, won't you now believe? The hope of promises fulfilled From prophets long foretold The author of all life Behold the Christ Descended down to men then lifted up to die Who crushed the grip of sin Behold the Christ Oh see him coming for his bride Wearing spotless robes of white All of our sorrow is replaced With joy as we behold his face With joy as we behold his face
