The child of the holy virgin

1. The child of the holy virgin, the son who wept in the manger, ; Let us greet with pure hearts, with songs from the heart, ; O sunshine, O living, O sweet Jesus, ; O sweet Jesus. ; ; 2. The world is waiting for you to dispel the darkness, ; That has covered the soul and removed it from you. ; O sunshine, O living, O sweet Jesus, ; O sweet Jesus. ; ; 3. O true light, from you the world has gained, ; The holy light of the faithful, which gives full rest. ; O sunshine, O living, O sweet Jesus, ; O sweet Jesus. ; ; 4. A heavenly light has proclaimed your presence to the world, ; We believe that in the cross is the Word made flesh, ; O sunshine, O life, O sweet Jesus, ; O sweet Jesus. ; ; 5. O reward of angels, O mercy of men, ; Sweet hope of our hearts, be the guide of our lives. ; O sunshine, O life, O sweet Jesus, ; O sweet Jesus.
