295. 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 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. [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]
