Light of the World

Hymnal: Joyful Songs #61 (1875) First Line: While I on earth abide Lyrics: 1 While I am on earth abide; Light of the world! Be thou my only guide Light of the world! Danger alone I see, No hand outstretched to me. Save when I turn to Thee. Light of the world! Light of the world! 2 I have been lur'd away, Light of the world! Far from thy path to stray, Light of the world! Like a bark tempest toss'd, Rudder and compass lost, Till thy beam o'er me cross'd. Light of the world! Light of the world! 3 There is an angel band, Light of the world! They by the throne now stand, Light of the world! They sing the song of praise, Join in the heav'nly lays, There I my voice would raise. Light of the World! Light of the world! Languages: English Tune Title: [While I on earth abide]
