Verse 1
The people of the earth sat in darkness;
They saw no light, no comfort or joy
Until the beauty of Heaven showed its power
Through a little baby boy,
Who came to bring us peace
And free our souls from the bondage of sin.
The forces of darkness were trembling;
They knew they would be conquered.
He came to win!

Chorus
So let the whole world know
That their Messi-ah has come.
And sing, all ye on bended knee,
To Jesus, God's Son.

Verse 2
Love is the magic of Christmas;
The birth of Jesus, the greatest gift of love.
And to know Him is to know
The truest meaning of freedom;
Yes, freedom's what I'm speaking of.
The world will one day grow weary
Of the struggle for gain, the vanity and strife.
There'll be a mighty cry of rejoicing
When Jesus comes to fill the world
With love and light!

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge
Look up, all ye who are without hope,
And see Jesus, the Truth and the Life,
He's the way to freedom's open doors,
The life of liberty in love!

Let the whole world kno-ow!

Let the whole world kno--ow soon all
Oppression will be o-ver!
Sing, all ye on bended knee,
To Jesus, Jesus!
Let the whole world kno-ow He'll wipe
Away ev'ry sorrow and stain!
Sing, all ye on bended knee,
To Jesus, Jesus!

Let the whole world know
That their Messi-ah has come!
And sing, all ye on bended knee, to Jesus!
Woh, let the whole world know
That their Messi-ah has come!
And sing, all ye on bended knee,
To Je-e-, Jesus!

Je-e-sus, Lord Emmanuel!
Let me hear the choir sing,
-"Glory to the new born King!"
Jesus, Child of love-
He wants you, He needs you,
He loves you! [Glory, glory!]
Jesus is a man of love, the Prince of Peace.
We're gonna let the whole world know
That their Messiah has come!
Oh Jesus, love of God!

Gonna let the whole world know
That their Messiah has come!
