Spirit and Life No. 2 ‎#10

10. The Shining Light

1 On the Christian's path a shining light appears,
Growing bright and brighter with the passing years,
'Tis the light of wisdom from the realms above,
Ev'ry day increasing like God's gifts of love.

Chorus:
We will follow, its leading,
We will follow its leading,
We will follow its leading all the way;
For that blessed shining light
Will shine more and still more bright,
Even unto the perfect day.

2 Though no eye hath seen, nor mortal ear hath heard,
All the grace and beauty found in God's pure Word;
Yet his Holy Spirit into truth will guide
All the trusting ones who in his love abide. [Chorus]

3 There is nothing covered but shall be revealed
When the books are opened and the rolls unsealed;
So we follow on to know as we are known,
Toward the prefect day when shadows will have flown. [Chorus]
