Light of the world, You stepped down

into darkness, opened my eyes, let me

see beauty that made this heart adore

You, hope of a life spent with You.

(Refrain)

And here I am to worship; here I am

to bow down; here I am to say that

You’re my God. You’re altogether

lovely, altogether worthy, altogether

wonderful to me.

King of all days, O so highly exalted,

Glorious in heaven above. Humbly

You came to the earth You created,

all for love’s sake became poor.

(Refrain)

And I’ll never know how much it cost

To see my sin upon that cross.

(Refrain)

THE NICENE CREED (on screens)

C We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,

begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father.

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven;

by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate

from the virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he

was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and

was buried. On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come

again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.

He has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen
