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
