# 345 Christ Is The World’s True Light
1. Christ is the world’s true light, Its captain of salvation, The day-star clear and bright Of every man and nation; New life, new hope awakes Where’er men own His sway: Freedom her bondage breaks, And night is turned to day.
2. 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 plowshare beat the sword, To pruning hook the spear.
