On a clear night, many many years ago
|
Two weary strangers moving slow
|
Were looking for a place to stay
|
But there was no place
|
Though they traveled many miles
|
So Mary being great with Child
|
Lay down on the sweet smelling hay.
|
Then a bright light fell from heaven
|
As a special star shone bright
|
And three wise men from a foreign land
|
Came to worship him that night
|
And in the clear night you could hear the angels sing
|
Praises to the newborn King
|
Jesus is the light of the world.
|
|
And the angels heralding the Holy Birth
|
Were singing Peace to men on Earth
|
Unto you is born a Son
|
And the shepherds
|
Though they had their flocks to tend
|
Journeyed unto Bethlehem
|
To behold the Holy One
|
|
And then the Boy grew up to be a Man
|
Come to set the captives free
|
Come to heal the sick and raise the dead
|
And to cause the blind to see
|
And the best part is even though
|
He's gone away
|
He'll be coming back someday
|
Jesus is the Light of the world.
|
|
And the best part is even though
|
He's gone away
|
He'll be coming back someday
|
Jesus is the Light of the world.
|
|
Jesus is the Light of the world.
|
|
Jesus
|
|
is the Light
|
|
of the world.
