Melodies of Love ‎#112

112. Walking In the Light of God

1 Like a lamp unto your feet,
A light from heaven glows,
From the land which needs no sun or moon
Nor ever darkness knows,
And radiant with a living splendor
Makes the way so bright,
You can walk, safely walk,
On the upward path of right.

Refrain:
O walk, walk, walk in the light of God;
In the light the perfect light Making plain the path of right,
Walk in faith, walk in trust Up the slope where saints have trod;
Keep the narrow way, Leading on to endless day,
Walk in hope, walk in peace, In the perfect light of God.

2 Like a lamp unto your feet,
The holy light-beams shine,
With the brightness of a cloudless sun,
A glory all divine;
Tho you must go 'mong bri'rs and brambles,
Nothing shall you fear,
Ever walk, safely walk,
In the light so white and clear. [Refrain]

3 Like a lamp unto your feet,
The light makes plain the way,
Turning not aside where shadows linger,
Lest afar you stray;
Keep in the path, tho it is stony,
Never need you fall,
Ever walk, safely walk,
In the light that shines for all. [Refrain]
