Light that lights all lights
The Light that lights all lights
Was here before the Sun
He said "let there be light"
With His Word, light begun
And the Word was with God
The Father, and the Son
And --yes!-- the Word was God!
With the Spirit -- they're One
The True Light that gives light
Through Him all things were made
The stars-- and moon at night,
Reflecting, in the shade
So too Mary reflects
The glory of her Son
Lighting all hearts afire
With the news: Jesus won!
He's the Light of the world
So let's not turn Him "off"
Let Him shine through our hearts
Even when others scoff
He's the central Shamash
On mankind's menorah
The Light that lights all lights
Sing hallelujah! :)
