197. Our Way Grows Bright

1 Our way grows bright with a holy light
That guides us to realms above,
Whene’er we pray that the dear Lord may
Refresh us with peace and love;
There’s naught can harm when the Saviour’s arm
Protects us from every ill,
With Him we’re blest, and He’ll be our guest,
Whene’er we obey His will.

Refrain:
God’s name we praise, and our hearts we raise
To Jesus who rules on high,
Whose love is dear to His children here,
Whose glory can never die.

2 When clouds arise in the peaceful skies
By faith we can see the light,
That shines afar like a guiding star,
And scatters the coming night;
When tempted here words from Christ bring cheer,
Reechoed in thought or song,
They give us grace for our heav’nly race,
And souls that look up grow strong. [Refrain]

3 ‘Tis sweet to talk and to daily walk
With Jesus the children’s Friend,
Whose peace imparts joy to wand’ring hearts,
And crowneth our journey’s end;
O Lord, may we ever faithful be,
Till beckoned to realms above,
Where tumults cease, and where perfect peace
Is found in a Saviour’s love. [Refrain]
