P. P. Bliss

P.M.

THE whole world was lost in the darkness of sin;

The light of the world is Jesus;

Like sunshine at noonday His glory shone in,

The Light of the world is Jesus.

Come to the Light, ’tis shining for thee;

Sweetly the Light has dawned upon me;

Once I was blind, but now I can see;

The Light of the world is Jesus.

2

No darkness have we who in Jesus abide,

The Light of the world is Jesus;

We walk in the light when we follow our Guide,

The light of the world is Jesus.

3

Ye dwellers in darkness with sin-blinded eyes,

The light of the world is Jesus;

Go, wash at His bidding, and light will arise,

The Light of the world is Jesus.

4

No need of the sunlight in heaven, we’re told,

The Light of the world is Jesus;

The Lamb is the light in the City of Gold,

The light of the world is Jesus.
