81. Jesus the Light of the World
1 Hark! the herald angels sing,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Glory to the newborn King,
Jesus, the light of the world.
Refrain:
We’ll walk in the light, beautiful light,
Come where the dewdrops of mercy are bright,
Shine all around us by day and by night.
Jesus, the light of the world. Amen.
2 Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Join the triumph of the skies,
Jesus, the light of the world. [Refrain]
3 Christ, by highest heav'n adored,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
Jesus, the light of the world. [Refrain]
4 Hail the heav'n born Prince of Peace!
Jesus, the light of the world;
Hail the Sun of righteousness!
Jesus, the light of the world. [Refrain]
