Christ is the World's Light

He became our brother.

Christ is the World's Light was written in 1969 by Methodist Minister, Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000). A prolific hymn writer, his work often reflected his concern for social issues. It is set to, Christe Sanc­tor­um from the Par­is An­ti­phon­er (1681). In the Liturgy of the Hours, Christ is the World's Light is used during Ordinary Time for Morning Prayer.

  1. It was precious to offer this tune from the Paris Antiphoner this morning after the terror attacks in Paris. May Christ's love and sacrifice help us all.
