Will You Come and See The Light (VU 96)
Will you come and see the light
Will you step into the light |
![]()
Will you tell about the light |
Will you join the hope, Alight in a young girl's eyes, Of the mighty put to flight By a baby's cries? When the lowest and the least Are the foremost at the feast, Will you hide, or decide To meet the light?
Will you travel by the light |
