Jesus Is the Light of the World
Embracing Light: A Timeless Tale of Hope and Redemption
Lyrics
On a clear night, many many years ago
Describes a clear night many years ago.
Two weary strangers moving slow
Two tired strangers moving slowly.
Were looking for a place to stay
Searching for a place to stay.
But there was no place
No place available despite traveling many miles.
Though they traveled many miles
Mary, pregnant, lays on sweet-smelling hay.
So Mary being great with Child
Mary is pregnant with a child.
Lay down on the sweet smelling hay
She lays down on sweet-smelling hay.
Then a bright light fell from heaven
A bright light falls from heaven.
As a special star shone bright
A special star shines brightly.
And three wise men from a foreign land
Three wise men from a foreign land come to worship the child.
Came to worship him that night
Wise men worship the child that night.
And in the clear night you could hear the angels sing
Angels sing praises to the newborn King.
Praises to the newborn King
Jesus is the light of the world.
Jesus is the light of the world.
Reiterates that Jesus is the light of the world.
And the angels heralding the Holy Birth
Angels announce the Holy Birth and wish peace to men on Earth.
Were singing Peace to men on Earth
Unto you is born a Son
A son is born; peace is declared.
And the shepherds
Shepherds, with flocks, journey to Bethlehem.
Though they had their flocks to tend
Journeyed unto Bethlehem
They come to behold the Holy One.
To behold the Holy One
And then the Boy grew up to be a Man
The boy grows up to be a man.
Come to set the captives free
He comes to set captives free.
Come to heal the sick and raise the dead
He heals the sick and raises the dead.
And to cause the blind to see
He causes the blind to see.
And the best part is even though
The best part: even though he's gone, he'll return someday.
He's gone away
He'll be coming back someday
He will be coming back someday.
Jesus is the Light of the world
Reiteration: Jesus is the light of the world.
And the best part is even though
Reiteration: even though he's gone, he'll return someday.
He's gone away
He'll be coming back someday
Reiteration: Jesus is the light of the world.
Jesus is the Light of the world.
Jesus is the Light of the world.
