no star shined brighter than his light
no wealthier news to cheer the heart
than that a king from heaven's height
was born to tear sin's veil apart
no cheerier chorus than his voice
no sweeter sound of 'mazing grace
for Love gifted us with a boy
a Saviour wrapped with baby face
'twas God with us and God for us,
such arm no royal fleet could wield
'tis Christ in us, and formed in us
such glorious hope for all who yield
Psalm 120.1
“In my distress
I cried
unto the Lord,
and he
heard me.”
