Burdened with sin’s darkest night of distress,
Jesus, the light of the world,
Light will break in if your sins you confess,
Jesus, the brightness of glory.

Refrain

Jesus the beautiful, beautiful light,
Beautiful light of the world,
Beautiful, beautiful light of the world,
Brightness of glory.

Looking to Jesus who shed His own blood,
Jesus, the light of the world,
Losing your burdens and gaining His love,
Jesus, the brightness of glory.

Refrain

Travelers in darkness with sin blinded eyes,
Jesus, the light of the world,
Look at His bidding, and light will arise,
Jesus, the brightness of glory.

Refrain

Needless the sunlight in Heaven we’re told,
Jesus, the light of the world,
Christ is the light in the city of gold,
Jesus, the brightness of glory.
