Ye Are the Light of the World (Craig)

lyricist: R. J. Craig, 1898
Composer: John Brunk (1872–1926)

Ye are the light of the world

Driving the dark­ness away

Shedding your beams on the lost

Changing their night into day.

Then let your light ev­er shine

Showing the right way to go;

Gladly the lost ones will see—

God’s bound­less love they will know.

Ye are the light of the world

Causing the clouds to de­part

Throwing the sun­shine of peace

Down on the poor bur­dened heart.

Then let your light ev­er shine;

Loved ones are pant­ing for rest;

Sunshine their souls will re­vive

Lifting them up to the blest.

Ye are the light of the world;

Thro’ you the true light must shine

Calling the lost sons of men

Home to the Fa­ther di­vine.

Then let your light ev­er shine

Hallow the name that is love;

You will each shine as a star

Fixed in the or­bit ab­ove.
