In the first light of a new day
No one knew He had arrived
Things continued as they had been
While a newborn softly cried
Story Behind the Song
“In the First Light” is a contemporary Christmas song by Bob Kauflin, commonly associated with late-20th-century evangelical choral and a cappella repertoire. The text moves from Christ’s quiet birth to his rejection, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and promised return, making it both a Christmas and Second Advent song.
