Wherever one repenting soul
Prays, in its agonies of pain,
By God's sweet grace to be made whole, --
There, Christ is born again.

Wherever -- bond of ancient thrall --
A strong soul bursts its shackling chain,
And upward strains to meet the call, --
There, Christ is born again.

Wherever vision of the Light
Disturbs the sleeping souls of men,
Night trails away its shadowy flight, --
And Christ is born again.

Wherever soul in travail turns,
And climbs the barriers that constrain,
With steady cheer Hope's sweet lamp burns, --
And Christ is born again.

Where one foul thing is purged away,
And Life delivered of one stain,
Love rims with gold the coming day, --
And Christ is born again.
