1 All ye saints of light proclaim,
Jesus, the Light of the world;
Life and mercy in His name,
Jesus, the Light of the world.

Refrain:
We’ll walk in the light, beautiful light,
Come where the dew-drops of mercy are bright;
Shine all around us by day and by night,
Jesus, the Light of the world.

2 Hear the Saviour’s earnest call,
Jesus, the Light of the world;
Send the gospel truth to all,
Jesus, the Light of the world. [Refrain]

3 Why not seek Him then today,
Jesus, the Light of the world;
Go with truth the narrow way,
Jesus, the Light of the world. [Refrain]

4 Come, confess Him as your king,
Jesus, the Light of the world;
Then the bells of heav’n will ring,
Jesus, the Light of the world. [Refrain]
