As a Flower

OPEN your heart as a flower to the light!
Darkness is passing; the Sun is in sight;
Morning with splendor is piercing life through,
Arrows of radiance, and spear-tips of dew.
Glad is the world in the Holy One's birth.
Lo, the new heavens! and lo, the new earth!
Scattered and fled are the phantoms of night:
Christ is the victor, and Christ is the Light!
Open your heart, and His love will shine in,
Cleansing and healing the hurt of your sin.
Who can resist Him, the Saviour, the Son?
Hell flies before Him, and Heaven is won.
Open your heart as a flower to the light!
Bloom and bear fruit in the glory of right!
Be of His Presence a perfume, a ray,
Child of the morning, and heir of the day!
