    D
The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin;
                          A
The Light of the world is Jesus;
     D
Like sunshine at noonday His glory shone in;
                          A D
The Light of the world is Jesus.

chorus:

   A                       E           A
   Come to the Light, 'tis shining for thee!
                         E           A
   Sweetly the Light has dawned upon me;
   D                     G
   Once I was blind, but now I can see;
       D                     A D
   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.
(chorus)

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)

No need of the sunlight in heaven, we're told;
The Light of the world is Jesus;
The Lamb is the Light in the City of Gold;
The Light of the world is Jesus.
(chorus)
