THE WORD

In the beginning was the Word

And the Word was with God

And the Word was God

He was in the beginning

with God

All things were made through Him

And without Him, 

nothing was made

that was made

In Him was Life

And the Life was the Light,

The Light of all men.

Jesus Christ is the Light

The Light of all men.

*

And the Light shines in the darkness

And the darkness did not comprehend

The True Light who gives light

Who gives light to all men.

*

But to all who received Him, 

He gave the right to become 

children of God

To all who believe 

on His name

Who were born not of blood

nor of the will of man

but born of God!

And the Word was made flesh

And dwelt with us

Jesus Christ took on flesh

And dwelt with us

*

And we beheld His wondrous glory! 

The glory of the only begotten Son

Full of grace, full of truth

Full of grace, full of truth

*

In the beginning was the Word

And the Word was with God

And the Word was God!
