Glory to the newborn King,

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.

Jesus, the light of the world;
Join the triumph of the skies,

Hail the Sun of righteousness!
Jesus, the light of the world. [Refrain]
