No greater gift, no blessing so divine, At Christmas tide or any sacred hour, Than this: that Jesus Christ, enthroned, does shine, And dwells within our hearts with majestic power.
I dream of Heaven’s halls aglow, Where chandeliers in radiant streams cascade, Diamonds dance with pink sapphires’ glow, Rubies flare, and emeralds softly fade. Malachite swirls, rhodochrosite gleams, Topaz sparkles, smoky quartz shines through, Amethysts sing, pearls weave their dreams, A jeweled splendor ever fresh and new. In rooms and homes of God’s eternal reign, The Triune King adorns His boundless space— Yet midst this glory, one Light shall remain, The truest brilliance, Christ’s unrivaled grace.
For He, the Lord, the King of Kings Most High, The Light of Worlds, all beauty’s sovereign source, Outshines the gems that dazzle mortal eye, His radiance reigns with uncreated force. O wondrous home, our Heaven’s vast estate, Its marvels call through endless years to roam, Yet Jesus Christ, the Chandelier of Fate, Illumes forever our eternal home.
May the treasure that stirs our soul’s delight, Be the wealth we lavish in the skies, A gleaming hoard beyond all earthly sight, Stored rich in Heaven where true bounty lies. Let this alone—our eternal gain— Mark the measure of our fleeting days, Our hearts aligned to Christ’s unending reign, The only prize worth all our earthly praise.
With grace, a river carved by Heaven’s hand, And growth, a vine that climbs through sacred sod, New vistas bloom, Christ-gifted, mercy-grand, Perspectives bathed in love from throne of God.
Salvation storms through Christ, our mighty Lord, A lavish gift, exorbitant and rare, Exquisite flame, sin’s darkened veil restored, To souls once lost, now blameless, bright, and fair! From filth to triumph, born anew we rise, Victorious heirs, with royal blood infused, Joint kin with Jesus, strength that never dies, Our Holy Rock, divine, unbowed, unloosed!
