In Jesus Christ The Light!

Church bells ring.
The spotlight shines on Easter Candle burning bright.
In devotion to the Glory of God, worshipers pray holding lighted candles in packed cathedral on Easter Vigil.
The priest lowers the huge candle into the baptismal font and lifts it out after invitation prayer, the litany of saints and prayers to God for blessings. The choir and whole church sing in joy.

Refrain:

In the Holy Spirit
We move
As One
In All
Our Best
For The Glory of God.

In Jesus Christ The Light!
We Work Wondrous Bright ( Echo: Christ The Light!                                                                     Wondrous  Bright) 

In Jesus Christ The Light!
We Worship And Serve Gracious Right.
                                                         (Echo: Christ The Light!
                                                                      Gracious Right)

Through Jesus Christ The Light!
The Son of God
We know God
Our Father Almighty
In His Grace
Face To Face.


The Elect are called by the Grace of God. They publicly renounce Satan and sin and profess faith. Clothed in baptismal garment, they step up toward the baptismal font in front of the altar to be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. As the priest pours the water on their heads, all sing in divine harmony.

In Jesus Christ The Light!
We Shine Divine
We understand
The Will of God
In His Plan of Salvation
For Mankind in loving kindness
To Gather All Nations
Into The Holy Family
As Children of God
To Share
Divine Fine
The Eternal Life
Of Grace
Love and Mercy.

In Jesus Christ The Light!
We Dare
Share Care
To Love 
God
To Love
One Another
Sharing The Joy of The Gospel
Helping and Supporting One Another
In Faith
In The Kingdom of God.

In Jesus Christ Our Lord
We Are Entrusted
The Authority - The Light Right!
To Serve
The Will of God 
In humility.

Through Jesus Christ Our Redeemer
We Are Blessed
To Be Saved
From Sin
In His Suffering,
Death and Resurrection.

In Jesus Christ The Light!
We Are Given
The Perfect Seal - The Light Might!
Upon Our Hearts
To Work Wonders
In Devotion
To The Glory of God
In Fervent Zeal.

In Jesus Christ Our Lord Risen
We Sing
Ring Zing
The Word of God -
The Holy Way Eternal Bright
As Holy Temples of God.

Composed on Easter Sunday
After My Baptism.
