111. 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.

Chorus:
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. [Chorus]

3 Christ, by highest heav'n adored,
Jesus, the Light of the world;
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
Jesus, the Light of the world. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

Amen.
