Light Has Dawned Upon the Earth

Lyrics

Verse 1
O come and see the promised light,
Long foretold in ancient night;
The Word made flesh, the infant King,
To whom the heav’nly angels sing.

Verse 2
No sword he bears, no throne he claims,
Yet every knee shall praise His name;
He stoops to serve, to bear our loss,
Our peace is born upon the cross.

Verse 3
What love is this, so pure, so true—
That God would dwell with me and you?
The Maker walks the dusty road,
To lift the curse and bear the load.

Verse 4
O sinner, see your Savior mild,
The Lord of all becomes a child;
Come, bring your guilt, your fear, your sin,
And find your rest and joy in Him.

Verse 5
So raise a song with heart and voice,
Let humble souls in Christ rejoice;
The Light has dawned upon the earth,
We sing the King of lowly birth!
