Light of the World

$1.50

SATB chant for Advent.  Suitable for processionals as well as for prayer.  Easy enough for the congregation to learn very well, but also fine for the choir to use separately.  With an optional cantor part that adds interest when the song repeats.  Quickly becomes a favorite.

Light of the world, into our darkness come,
Light of the world, into our darkness come,
Light of the world, into our darkness come,
Let Heaven’s will on earth be done.

A licensed copy is required for each member performing.

Description

Background

I don’t quite recall when I wrote this song, but I think it was during grad school, when I was living in Iowa City.  Like many of my early creations, it probably went unheard for years, until I figured out that I should probably show it to someone and let it get some use.

My local church has now used it as a prayer hymn throughout Advent for a number of years.  It was also used to good effect as an opening song each evening at the 2016 Church of the Brethren Annual Conference in Greensboro, North Carolina.
