Yes. Although 'pull' is probably not a good word. Gravity bends space and time and light simply travels through this bent space causing it to be deflected.

What effects Einstein's General Theory of Relativity predicts that gravity has on light?

If light passes by a large mass gravity will pull it down a little, bending its trajectory. If light leaves a large mass gravity will "stretch" its wavelength (decrease its frequency)and if it falls into a large mass gravity will scruntch up its wavelength (increase its frequency).
