34. Walking in the Sunlight

1 Walking in the sunlight on I go each day,
Trav’ling to a land beyond compare;
Singing of God’s mercies all along the way,
Walking in the sunlight bright and fair.

Refrain:
Walking in the sunlight, blessed light of God,
Singing of His mercies’ ceaseless flow,
Foll’wing in the pathway which my Lord hath trod,
Walking in the sunlight, on I go.

2 Walking in the sunlight of a Father’s love,
Pressing on with swift and willing feet;
Rest eternal waits me in that land above,
Walking in the sunlight glad and sweet. [Refrain]

3 Walking in the sunlight, close by Jesus’ side,
Fearing naught, I journey on the way;
In my weakness clinging to my trusty Guide,
Walking in the sunlight, day by day. [Refrain]

4 Walking in the sunlight till I catch a sight
Of the City’s pearly gates above;
Jesus’ presence scatters darkest shades of night,
Walking in the sunlight of God’s love. [Refrain]
