This is one of my favorite Christmas songs about Christ.
Not just for the beautifully haunting melody.
The poetic imagery of the lyrics is powerful.
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Close the path to misery.
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave
How beautiful to consider.
In life so often we are stuck in the gloomy clouds of night, the dark shadows that try to swallow us up.
But through Jesus Christ we are given victory over all that saddens...all that threatens to destroy our happiness and joy.
He can save us...not just from the Hell they teach you about in Sunday School. But from the personal hells that we all experience at one time or another in life.
