85. 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.

Chorus:
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. [Chorus]

3 No 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 [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
