301. The Whole World Was Lost

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 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]
