Verse 1
A light has dawned, shattered the darkness
Heaven has sent the promised one
Son of man, son of the Father
The light of the world has come
Chorus
The heavens declare, angels proclaim
Shepherds cry out, the Christ has come to save
He is our light, he is our hope
He is our gift of life
Jesus is his name, Jesus is his name
Verse 2
Immanuel, clothed in our likeness
Humbled himself, to make God known
Death he chose, paying our ransom
Rising to claim his own
Verse 3
The prince of peace, hope of the nations
Justice and grace for rich and poor
He will reign, ever exalted
Jesus the risen Lord!
Alternate Chorus
So let us declare, boldly proclaim
Sing and cry out: "the Christ has come to save"
He is our light, he is our hope
He is our gift of life
Jesus is his name, Jesus is his name
Jesus is his name, Jesus is his name
