Light and Marvels

This was a Christmas Carol that was published in the December 2012 Ensign.

Lights and Marvels
~ Penelope Moody Allen ~

The manner of His coming was so humble few gave heed.
Though lights and marvels blazoned,
Their glad tidings few received.
The manner of His coming
Back to earth is with acclaim
All men will kneel and worship, 
Every tongue confess His name.
He comes with Light and marvels!
Christ comes with Truth and Right!
Our hearts expand in worship; 
Our eyes receive their sight.

The manner of His coming to the seeking soul who prays
Is personal, a witness, 
Through the Spirit of His grace.
The manner of His coming
To our heart brings joy and peace.
In private lights and marvels,
As our faith and love increase.
He comes with Light and marvels!
Christ comes with Truth and Right!
Our hearts expand in worship,
Our eyes receive their sight.
