1 Christ is the world's light, Christ and none other;
born in our darkness, he became our brother--
if we have seen him, we have seen the Father:
Glory to God on high!
2 Christ is the world's peace, Christ and none other;
no one can serve him, and despise another.
Who else unites us, one in God the Father?
Glory to God on high!
3 Christ is the world's life, Christ and none other;
sold once for silver, murdered here, our brother--
he, who redeems us, reigns with God the Father:
Glory to God on high!
4 Give God the glory, God and none other;
give God the glory, Spirit, Son, and Father;
give God the glory, God with us, my brother:
Glory to God on high!
