16640. Jesus, The Light

1 Let my gaze be fixed on Thee,
Jesus, the light of the world;
As I look, new beau­ties see,
Jesus, the light of the world.

Refrain:
Walk in the light, beau­ti­ful light,
Come where the dew­drops
Of mer­cy are bright;
Falling around us by day and by night—
Jesus, the light of the world.

2 Let my hands be strong for Thee,
Jesus, the light of the world;
And my feet be swift and free,
Jesus, the light of the world. [Refrain]

3 When the tempt­er would alarm,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Bare, O bare Thy migh­ty arm,
Jesus, the light of the world. [Refrain]

4 Walk the waves, across life’s sea,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Nearer come, O Lord, to me,
Jesus, the light of the world. [Refrain]

5 Be a shel­ter in the storm,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Keep, oh, keep thy child from harm,
Jesus, the light of the world. [Refrain]
