A LIGHT HAS SHONE

A light has shone upon us this day;

For the Lord, our Saviour, is born for us.

And we shall call him: Wonder Counsellor,

Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of peace.

And his dominion far and wide shall spread, bringing peace.

So tender God's love for mankind.

With perfect justice, he will rule the world, and with peace.

The peoples with his truth, He will judge.

Let all the heavens, sing a song to God, bless his name,

Let all the lands and seas shout for joy.

To God be glory in the highest heav'n, evermore

And peace on earth to people of good will.
