For all the glad days that have rolled in light
Since the first glad day had birth.
Were not half so bright, as the one dark night
When the Saviour came to earth.

And at last, we shall own, in the heavenly clime
With a finished life in view
That our darkest nights, in the path of Time
Were the brightest days we knew.

To me, this song gives forth the
supreme message of Christmas time.
is is a note of joy and hope out of
night comes the morning.
God solves the problem of sin and
sorrow in light and song.
Just at the point where men despair
and see only the end, God makes a new
beginning and strikes the triumphant
chord of hope.

As we look down to the
dust thro' tears, the angels break thro the
heavens above, white winged, an ju-
bilant with song.
