The lyrics of this traditional Christmas carol got me thinking. This is the version in the 1982 Episcopal hymnal and I was surprised to notice that the word Sun, not Son, is written. This verse is really about universality, continuous life, and healing as Natural Law.
Vs.3
Mild he lays his glory by
born that we no more may die
born to raise us from the earth
born to give us second birth
Risen with healing in his wings
light and life to all he brings
hail, the Sun of Righteousness!
hail, the heaven-born prince of peace
Never Let Them See You Sweat
