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.
