112. Jesus, the Light of the World (We'll Walk in the Light)

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 heaven adored,
Jesus, the Light of the world;
Christ, the everlasting Lord!
Jesus, the Light of the world. [Refrain]

4 Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Jesus, the Light of the world;
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Jesus, the Light of the world. [Refrain]

Amen.
