Christ in Song ‎#313

313. 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.

Chorus:
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.

2 Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Jesus, the Light of the world;
Join the triumphs of the skies,
Jesus, the Light of the world. [Chorus]

3 Christ by highest heav'n adored,
Jesus, the Light of the world;
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
Jesus, the Light of the world. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
