Christ Is the World's True Light

Lyrics by

Music by
William Henry Harris (1933)
Tune
LIEBSTER JESU · 8.8.8.8.D
Scripture
John 8:12
Verse 1
In Christ all races meet,
Their ancient feuds forgetting,
The whole round world complete,
From sunrise to its setting:
When Christ is throned as Lord,
Men shall forsake their fear,
To plowshare beat the sword,
To pruning hook the spear.
Verse 2
One Lord, in one great name
Unite us all who own Thee,
Cast out our pride and shame
That hinder to enthrone Thee;
The world has waited long,
Has travailed long in pain,
To heal its ancient wrong,
Come, Prince of Peace, and reign.
