• Anthem: Christ Is the World’s True Light – J. S. Bach, arr. John Cook

Christ is the world’s true Light,
Its Captain of salvation,
The Daystar clear and bright
Of ev’ry man and nation;
New life, new hope awakes,
Where’er men own his sway:
Freedom her bondage breaks,
And night is turned to day.
In Christ all races meet,
Their ancient feuds forgetting,
The whole round world complete,
From sunrise to its setting:
When Christ is throned as Lord,
Men shall forsake their fear,
To ploughshare beat the sword,
To pruning-hook the spear.
One Lord, in one great name
Unite us all who own thee;
Cast out our pride and shame
That hinder to enthrone thee;
The world has waited long,
Has travailed long in pain;
To heal its ancient wrong,
Come, Prince of Peace, and reign. -Text by G.W. Briggs
