He comes, the Way that all may tread, the Shepherd King of David's line, the radiance from his manger bed through all the earth shall shine: Alleluia, Alleluia, our promised Light divine. He comes, the Truth the prophets heard, who was and is and is to be, God's timeless, true, eternal Word whom wise men longed to see: Alleluia, Alleluia, the Truth that makes us free. He comes, the Life who for us gave a ransom none but he could pay, the child who conquered death and grave, our Life, our Truth, our Way: Alleluia, Alleluia, the Christ of Christmas Day.
