Meter:11.8.11.8. with chorus

This hymn has a unique tune

 

 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

 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.

 

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.
