306. Our Father Has Light In His Window

1 Our Father has light in His window,
It shines through the darkening night
And carries a friendly greeting
To all from the Lord of light.
Our Father has light in His window,
It brightens the darkest road,
It comforts in need and sorrow
And points us the way to God.

2 Our Father has light in His window;
It shows us the way across
The valley of death's grim shadow,
Which Jesus has built for us.
Our Father has light in His window,
When toward His light we move,
He sendeth His angels to lead us
To mansions in heaven above.

3 Our Father has light in His window,
It beckons through storm and gloom
And, beaming with loving kindness,
It bids us: Come home, come home!
Our Father has light in His window,
That light is His blessed Word,
The word of His love and mercy
Through faith in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
