Light of the World
O come, light of the world
Shine forth now in my heart
Soothe the restless soul
Bid sorrow now depart
Oh Lord, Light of the World
Christ risen on high
The wounds shining forth in rays
Puts evil men to flight
Oh Lord, love divine
Majesty incarnate
The wounds newly shine
O come and touch the world
Battered, broken, so afraid
Come touch the hearts you made
To love the divine
Bread, wine,
Body, blood
Given freely
To wash
The leper clean
Cleanse our sin
Heal our wounds
And turn our gaze
To the Ancient of Days
Remind us once again
These scared angry ones
Are your children
And pain is not their destiny
We were made to love
And be loved
The shadow of sin
Pain and anguish
Dull the glory
Contained within
O come, rescue these hearts
Daunted and afraid
The hearts that you made
Heal the stone
And soothe the angry flesh
Let us feel your touch again
Remind us we are yours
And hope endures
When you are found
For grace
abounds in You
