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.
