The Bright Array ‎#121

121. Jesus, the Light of the Word

1 Shining in darkness, by faith we behold,
Jesus the Light of the world;
Jesus, the brightness of glory untold,
Jesus the Light of the world.

Refrain:
O walk in the beautiful light
That comes with the dew-drops of mercy impearled;
It shineth around us by day and by night,
‘Tis Jesus, the Light of the world.

2 Shining in darkness through trials and fears,
Jesus the Light of the world;
Shining in darkness through sorrow and tears,
Jesus the Light of the world. [Refrain]

3 Shining in darkness, O Infinite Love!
Jesus the Light of the world;
Shining in darkness wherever we move,
Jesus the Light of the world. [Refrain]
