Light

Into dense darkness
Thick quiet nothingness
Almighty God spoke light

Perhaps angels trumpeted praises with singing
Perhaps a profound silence revered the aura

     Perhaps it was then the radiant vision was born
     The Light of the World
     Sent into the darkness of men's hearts
     The Word becoming flesh
     Flesh crucified

So into a dark world
Almighty God sent a great gleaming star
Beckoning men of open hearts to see
What love lay upon the straw
     Promise faithfully fulfilled
     Life freely given

Nights are still dark
Stars still faithfully glisten
Guiding the hearts of shepherds and kings

Into dense darkness
Thick with the worldly wise and the nothingness of self-conceit
Almighty God has sent
The Light of the World

     Oh come let us worship Him
     Christ the Lord
