635. Walk in the light! so shalt thou know

1 Walk in the light! so shalt thou know
That fellowship of love
His Spirit only can bestow
Who reigns in light above,
Who reigns in light above.

2 Walk in the light! and thou shalt own
Thy darkness passed away;
Because that light on thee hath shone
In which is perfect day.

3 Walk in the light! and e'en the tomb
No fearful shade shall wear;
Glory shall chase away its gloom,
For Christ hath conquered there.

4 Walk in the light! and thine shall be
A path, though thorny, bright;
For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee,
And God himself is light.
