Suggested Tune HOLLINGSIDE (7.7.7.7.D.) By J.B. Dykes [click on tune name to play midi]
1. Let the light of Jesus shine;
end oppression's rules of night.
Precious light of Jesus shine;
Tyrants: tremble at the sight!
Hear our joyful laughter flow
like the oil of gladness Oh!
See the light, the Light has come!
Hail! O, hail! Anointed One!
2. See the Christ-light shine the way,
leave your prisons and your chains;
freedom dawns, a brand new day:
Liberty from sin and shame!
Hear our joyful laughter flow
like the oil of gladness Oh!
See the light, the Light has come!
Hail! O, hail! Anointed One!
3. Once we were in wilderness
broken, wounded, blind oppressed,
Furtive, guilty, lonely lost
Now we are a people blessed!
Hear our joyful laughter flow
like the oil of gladness Oh!
See the light, the Light has come!
Hail! O, hail! Anointed One!
4. Mouths are filled with laughter free,
joy trips off of every tongue;
Shout out to the nations: See!
See the Light! The Light has come!
Hear our joyful laughter flow
like the oil of gladness Oh!
See the light, the Light has come!
Hail! O, hail! Anointed One!
