160. Hark! the Herald Angels Sing (Jesus, the Light of the world)

1 Hark, the herald angels sing,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Glory to the Christ-child bring,
Jesus, the light of the world.

Refrain:
We will follow 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 you saints arise,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Join the triumph of the skies,
Jesus, the light of the world. [Refrain]

3 Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Christ, the everlasting Word,
Jesus, the light of the world. [Refrain]

4 Hail the Bearer of God's peace!
Jesus, the light of the world;
Hail, the Sun of righteousness!
Jesus, the light of the world. [Refrain]
