He Left The Wonder

HE LEFT THE WONDER,
He left the splendour,
He left the glory of heaven above.
A stable bare, such a humble place,
For the light of the world to come.

The angel sang
‘Glory to God,
Peace on the earth and goodwill to all men!’
The angel sang
‘Glory to God,
For the light of the world has come!’

The shepherds kneeling,
Bowed down to worship,
Creation paused at the awesome sight.
A stable bare, such a humble place
For the light of the world to come.

And still the wonder,
And still the splendour,
And still the glory of heaven is here.
The gentle babe, now a risen King
Yes the light of the world is come.

Neil Wilson
