Lux Venit Lyrics - Michael W. Smith

words by Amy Grant and Bev Darnell 

music by Michael W. Smith 

By sword by flame 

In death solemn ages passed 

And voices young 

Grow old and weary 

Holding fast 

Hope for the dawning 

Lux venit lux venit 

Lux venit sursum corda 

Lux venit lux venit arise 

Shine for your light has come 

Lux venit lux venit 

Sursum corda 

Lux venit lux venit arise 

Shine for your light has come 

In grace in might 

The babe lay in a stable stark 

Redemptions light 

Pierces through the shadows dark 

Alleluia 

Lux venit lux venit 

Lux venit sursum corda 

Lux venit lux venit arise 

Shine for your light has come 

Lux venit lux venit 

Lux venit sursum corda 

Lux venit lux venit arise 

Shine for your light has come 

Alleluia Alleluia 

Alleluia Alleluia 

Lux venit: "The light has come" 

Sursum corda: "Look upwards hearts"
