62. 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 shine 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 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]
