The world lay in the dark
Desperate for Heaven's spark
Weary from the trials and storms
Wondering when Hope would be born
Waiting, longing, crying out
Light of the world shine on us
Reign over us o Prince of Peace
Heal every hurt with Your hands, with your words
O come, o Light of the world
In the chill of winter's gray
Our humble King from Heaven came
With the power to save and serve
He gave us life we could not earn
In our weakness, we cry out
Light of the world shine on us
Reign over us o Prince of Peace
Heal every hurt with Your hands, with your words
O come, o Light of the world
O weary one, lift up your head
The Light has come, He will come again
O weary one, lift up your head
The Light has come, He will come again
Past the manger, past the Cross
We battle doubt, we suffer loss
But we do not fight in vain
Through every trial He radiates
Walking toward Him, we cry out
Light of the world, shine on us
Reign in our hearts, o Prince of Peace
Till You return
Let our lives and our words
Proclaim the Light of the world
Shine on us
Reign in our hearts, o Prince of Peace
Till You return
Let our lives and our words
Proclaim the light of the world
O come, o Light of the world
O come, o Light of the world
