The most beautiful night of the year
All the stars light up the sky
And the city is sparkling with silver and gold
From a million points of light
A reflection of something that's deeper within
Just a flicker of something more
Jesus, light of the world
Shine through the darkness, bright as the day
Jesus, light of the world
Shine in our hearts and show us the way tonight
Who is this Child in the manger?
Kings bow down and angels sing
The Lord of the universe has come here to save us
A precious offering
All the heavens above and the earth below
Are filled with the light of Your love
Jesus, light of the world
Shine through the darkness, bright as the day
Jesus, light of the world
Shine in our hearts and show us the way tonight, yeah
Jesus, light of the world
Shine through the darkness, bright as the day
Jesus, light of the world
Shine in our hearts and show us the way
Jesus, shine
Shine
Show us the way
Shine in our hearts and show us the way tonight
Oh
Show us the way tonight
