I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John 8:12

Words & Music: Henry L. Gilmour, Our Praise in Song (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: John J. Hood, 1893), page 3 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Let my gaze be fixed on Thee,
Jesus, the light of the world;
As I look, new beauties see,
Jesus, the light of the world.
Refrain
Walk in the light, beautiful light,
Come where the dewdrops
Of mercy are bright;
Falling around us by day and by night—
Jesus, the light of the world.
Let my hands be strong for Thee,
Jesus, the light of the world;
And my feet be swift and free,
Jesus, the light of the world.
Refrain
When the tempter would alarm,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Bare, O bare Thy mighty arm,
Jesus, the light of the world.
Refrain
Walk the waves, across life’s sea,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Nearer come, O Lord, to me,
Jesus, the light of the world.
Refrain
Be a shelter in the storm,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Keep, oh, keep thy child from harm,
Jesus, the light of the world.
