To him in glad thanksgiving my happy heart I raise;
He like a Shepherd found me when wand’ring far astray;
And now his love so precious is lighting up the way.
Refrain:
Love, love, bright’ning ev’ry day;
Love, love, lighting up the way;
O praise his name forever, let all his people say,
The love of my Redeemer is lighting up the way.
2 He never will forsake me, his Word assures me so;
And ev’ry needful blessing he freely will bestow;
His mercies shine around me, tho’ earthly skies are gray;
The love of my Redeemer is lighting up the way. [Refrain]
3 Be faith I see the portals of Zion City fair;
The King in all his beauty reveals his glory there;
And tow’rd the radiant mansions of everlasting day
The love of my Redeemer is lighting up the way. [Refrain] Topics: Love Tune Title: [O sing the name of Jesus in joyful hymns of praise]
