(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
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
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 that world is Jesus;
The Lamb is the Light in the City of Gold —
The Light of that world is Jesus.
CHORUS
At The Rainbow
