What is this light shines from that stable door
To lift our spirits poor?
For by its light we see
Within the stable are our Holy Three,
A proto-icon of His Three above:
A mirror image of His perfect love.
Their open door now beckons all to come
That fam’lies may become
Again their likeness here,
As He from all our hearts casts out our fear,
And we, a New Creation, on earth born
With Him—the light of world on Christmas morn.
