#898 - The Ancient Law Departs And all its fears remove, For Jesus makes with faithful hearts A covenant of love.

#898 - The Ancient Law Departs [2] The Light of Light divine, True brightness undefiled, He bears for us the pain of sin, A holy, spotless child.

#898 - The Ancient Law Departs [3] His infant body now Begins the cross to feel; Those precious drops of blood that flow For death the victim seal.

#898 - The Ancient Law Departs [4] Today the name is Thine At which we bend the knee. They call Thee Jesus, child divine; Our Jesus deign to be.

#898 - The Ancient Law Departs [5] All praise, eternal Son, For Thy redeeming love, With Father, Spirit, ever one In glorious might above.
