         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!
            • 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!
         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!
         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!
         4. 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!

Let the Lower Lights be Burning

Scripture: Philippians 2:15; Luke 12:35

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 
               1. Brightly beams our Father’s mercy,
                  From His lighthouse evermore,
                  But to us He gives the keeping
                  Of the lights along the shore.
                  • Refrain:
                    Let the lower lights be burning!
                    Send a gleam across the wave!
                    Some poor struggling, fainting seaman
                    You may rescue, you may save.
               2. Dark the night of sin has settled,
                  Loud the angry billows roar;
                  Eager eyes are watching, longing,
                  For the lights along the shore.
               3. Trim your feeble lamp, my brother;
                  Some poor sailor, tempest-tossed,
                  Trying now to make the harbor,
                  In the darkness may be lost.
