Author: R. J. Craig Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #392 (1972) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Ye are the light of the world,
Driving the darkness away,
Shedding your beams on the lost,
Changing their night into day.
Then let your light ever shine,
Showing the right way to go;
Gladly the lost ones will see—
God’s boundless love they will know.
2 Ye are the light of the world,
Causing the clouds to depart,
Throwing the sunshine of peace
Down on the poor burdened heart.
Then let your light ever shine;
Loved ones are panting for rest;
Sunshine their souls will revive,
Lifting them up to the blest.
3 Ye are the light of the world;
Thro’ you the true light must shine,
Calling the lost sons of men
Home to the Father divine.
Then let your light ever shine,
Hallow the name that is love;
You will each shine as a star,
Fixed in the orbit above. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; The Church Light of the World Scripture: Matthew 5:14 Languages: English Tune Title: YE ARE THE LIGHT
