John 1 v.14-18

*********

[Start with Chorus]

Light of the world

Fullness of grace, truth unfurled

Father's glory

By faith we do Him see

 

The Word was made flesh, among us did dwell

Glory beholden, they of it did tell - Chorus

 

John Baptist's witness, saying, This is He

Of whom I spake, He be greater than me - Chorus

 

He born after me, but higher than me

I a voice for Him, His messenger be - Chorus

 

We of His fullness have all here received

It be His grace if we have sure believed - Chorus

 

The law was given by Moses, but grace

And truth came by Jesus Christ, see His face - Chorus

 

No one has seen God at any time, though

Son of the Father has shown Him, we know - Chorus
