The Light Of Life

orchidee



Tune: Mendelssohn

('Hark, the herald angels sing')

John 1 v.5 - 18 parts

**********

Here the true Light of the world

Revealed now in flesh, unfurled

He lights each one born human

In the world, each woman, man

He born as us, babe human

Yet too divine, Christ the Son

Born lowly in manger stall

See Him there the Lord of all

 

Chorus

Light in the darkness does shine

Wins o'er darkness victory fine

 

he the Word became flesh, we

Trust He dwelt among us, see

In His days they did behold

His glory, and of it told

John Baptist did bear witness

Turn from sins, Christ will you bless

I point you to Him, for He

Be always greater than me - Chorus

 

For He, pre-existing one

God the Father's Only Son

And of His fullness may we

Receive, and find grace today

Though no one has seen God e'er

Christ He with us does Him share

The Son in [God] the Father's heart

he shows us God, that His part - Chorus
