\nChrist is the world’s true light,
\nIts captain of salvation,
\nThe daystar clear and bright
\nOf every man and nation;
\nNew life, new hope awakes
\nWhere’er men own His sway:
\nFreedom her bondage breaks,
\nAnd night is turned to day.<\/p>\n
2
\nIn Christ all races meet,
\nTheir ancient feuds forgeting,
\nThe whole round world complete,
\nFrom sunrise to its setting:
\nWhen Christ is throned as Lord,
\nMen shall forsake their fear,
\nTo plowshare beat the sword,
\nTo pruning hook the spear.<\/p>\n
3
\nOne Lord, in one great name
\nUnite us all who own Thee,
\nCast out our pride and shame
\nThat hinder to enthrone Thee;
\nThe world has waited long,
\nHas travailed long in pain,
\nTo heal its ancient wrong,
\nCome, Prince of Peace, and reign.<\/p>\n
