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 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 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]
