I am the light of the world.
You peo-ple come and fol-low me!
If you fol-low and love, you’ll learn the mys-ter-y
Of what you were meant to do and be.

When the song of the an-gels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and the shep-herds have found their way home,
The work of Christ-mas is be-gun.

I am the light of the world.
You peo-ple come and fol-low me!
If you fol-low and love, you’ll learn the mys-ter-y
Of what you were meant to do and be.

To find the lost and lone-ly man,
To heal his bro-ken soul with love,
To feed the hun-gry chil-dren with warmth and good food,
To feel the earth be-low the sky a-bove!

I am the light of the world.
You peo-ple come and fol-low me!
If you fol-low and love, you’ll learn the mys-ter-y
Of what you were meant to do and be.

To free the pri-son’r from his chains,
To make the pow-er-ful care,
To re-build the na-tions with strength of good will,
To call a man your bro-ther ev-ery-where!

I am the light of the world.
You peo-ple come and fol-low me!
If you fol-low and love, you’ll learn the mys-ter-y
Of what you were meant to do and be.

To bring hope to ev-ery task you do,
To dance at a ba-by’s new birth,
To make mus-ic in an old man’s heart,
And sing the col-ors of the earth!
