a long way from your home;
coming in need, Mary's child,
born in a borrowed room.
2 Clear shining light, Mary's child,
your face lights up our way;
Light of the world; Mary's child,
dawn on our darkened day.
3 Truth of our life, Mary's child,
you tell us God is good;
prove it is true, Mary's child,
go to your cross of wood.
4 Hope of the world, Mary's child,
you're coming soon to reign;
King of the earth, Mary's child,
walk in our streets again. Topics: Church Year Christmas; Cross; Hope; Jesus Christ Light of the World; Truth Used With Tune: MARY'S CHILD
