Aglow with brilliance the Christmas tree,
In the midst of a forest scene,
With animals dazed in wonderment,
O Innocent Light so serene.

A peaceful hush with excitement stirs,
For born was the Christ Child this night,
A Star guiding, angels heralding,
O Innocent Light’s illumined bright.

Glory to the sweet Lamb of God’s shone,
All live and know of His Presence,
Softly His tenderness ever glows,
O Innocent Light's warmed essence.

Overwhelming awe and reverence,
Mesmerizes this meadow sight,
Beloved beauty of the Christ Child's birth,
O Innocent Light brings delight.

How the Christmas tree's beauty reveals,
The magnificent hues agleam,
Adorned's the Lord’s Own Birth Divine,
O Innocent Light is Supreme.

How the precious animals of God,
Simply bask in the Beauteous,
And always honor the Christ Child’s Birth,
O Innocent Light Glorious.
