pull a 2-wire with ground cable from the ceiling box to the switch box

existing black connects to new black with wire nut

put a ring of black tape around each end of the white wire in the new
cable to designate it as "switched hot"

at switch box black goes to "line" and white with black tape goes to
"load" side of switch (if switch is not marked, it doesn't matter)

in ceiling box white with black tape goes to black of light fixture

white remains as is (there is no neutral available in the switch box if
you follow this method)

hope this helps
