When One Beholds the Son

There was a time when none would come,
When surely none would stay,
Yet that is not the circumstance
In which I live today.

The bright has pierced the brooding clouds,
The darkness fell away;
The lines fall in a pleasant place,
And I can truly say

That joy is not a feeling nor
A thing that's lost or won.
For light is sweet, the eye is pleased
When one beholds the son.
