By John R. Van Gelderen, sung by Mary Lynne Van Gelderen

Mystery of Christmas night,
Prophecies of old come true —
Infant lies in candle light,
Prince of peace in wondrous view.

Mystery of Christmas night
Shining forth salvation’s light.

Gift of God and hope of man,
King of glory born on earth.
God’s eternal master plan
Offers man a second birth.

Mystery of Christmas night
Shining forth salvation’s light.

Mystery of Christmas glow,
Shining still with saving light
Christ the Savior man may know
Miracle of Christmas night.

Mystery of Christmas night
Shining forth salvation’s light.
