Lyrics
You are the hope of nations
You are the hope of our lives
You are the hope of nations
You are the hope of our lives
Tu es l’espoir des nations
Tu es l’espoir de nos vies
Tu es l’espoir des nations
Tu es l’espoir de nos vies
Jesus, hope of the nations
Jesus, comfort for those who mourn
You are the source of heaven’s hope on earth
Jesus, light in the darkness
Jesus, truth in each circumstance
You are the source of heaven’s light on earth
In Bethlehem, a lowly birth
The dawn of grace and peace on earth
You are the hope, hope brought to life
Here to reveal what God’s really like
Light of the world, shining for everyone to see
You are the Christ, Christmas is You
Our servant King, faithful and true
Jesus our joy, filling our hearts
As we receive, our Prince of Peace
Jésus, espoir des nations
Jésus, soutien de ceux qui pleurent
Tu es l’espoir des cieux venant sur terre
Jésus, lumière dans la nuit
Jésus, vérité en tout temps
Tu es l’espoir de la lumière sur terre
You are the hope living in us
You are the God in whom we trust
Light of the world, shining for everyone to see
You are the Christ, Christmas is You
Our servant King, faithful and true
Jesus our joy, filling our hearts
As we receive, our Prince of Peace
Prince of Peace
You are the hope of nations
You are the hope of our lives
Tu es l’espoir des nations
Tu es l’espoir de nos vies
