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. 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. 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.
