Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#215

215. The Light of the World Is Jesus

1 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.

Refrain:
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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
