The lights shine brightly this Christmastide
From heart of town to countryside
Candle of Christmas alight in the window
A guide for Mary, wherever she may go

This is the Time of the Star and lights in the sky
And calm of Christmas with expectancy draws nigh
The rich person and the poor person united as one
Await the arrival of Jesus in this world undone

Until the brightness of lights the road is before
Jesus you will be our sure guide forever more
A light of moving brightness other lights but still
Your approach Jesus coming to that holy hill

Chorus:
O Jesus, come to Mary and bless our world anew
Stay with us this night that we may come to know you
Erase from our lives the ugliness and the hatred
Purify the love in our hearts which is oh so tainted
