The Light of the World is Jesus



"A photograph I took last week as the
sun shone brilliantly through the clouds,
it reminds me of one of my favorite hymns."

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!

Refrain

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!

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!

Refrain

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!

Refrain

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!

Refrain

Pretty picture - and a beautiful hymn!

A favorite hymn of mine is "Be Thou My Vision." I came across a 5th verse to this hymn which is very special.

Be Thou my Battleshield Sword for the fight.
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my delight.
Thou my soul's shelter,
Thou my High Tower,
Raise Thou me heavenward
O Power of my Power.


Another favorite hymn of mine is "Come Thou Fount." I have so many favorites, it's hard to choose only one!
