Author: Anon. Hymnal: Soul Inspiring Songs #151 (1929) First Line: I am walking in the light Refrain First Line: Jesus saves day by day Lyrics: 1 I am walking in the light, And my path is shining bright, Where there is no more dark night I now dwell. This vain world I bid adieu, And its’ pleasures fade from view, All things now to me are new, All is well. Refrain: Jesus saves day by day, Sweetly keeps all the way, All my burdens He bears, Ev’ry care; Soon I’ll lay my armor down, And at Jesus feet sit down, And receive a starry crown Over there. 2 I have glory for a prize And a crown beyond the skies When from earth I shall arise, Pure and white. I shall then with Jesus reign, And eternal honor gain, And be pure from ev’ry stain In His sight. [Refrain] 3 I have angel food to eat, And no honey is so sweet, It is most delicious meat To the soul. On His promise I abide, And my soul is satisfied, For I feel the crimson tide O’er me roll. [Refrain] 4 I have garments wro’t with gold, And their value is untold, They have neither moth nor mould, Bless the Lord. I have jewels rich and rare, And a mansion bright and fair, For His will is written there, In His word. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I am walking in the light]

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Walking in the Light" in Soul Inspiring Songs In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact.

R. E. Winsett

1876 - 1952 Arranger of "[I am walking in the light]" in Soul Inspiring Songs Robert Emmett Winsett (January 15, 1876 — June 26, 1952 (aged 76) was an American composer and publisher of Gospel music. Winsett was born in Bledsoe County, Tennessee, and graduated from the Bowman Normal School of Music in 1899. He founded his own publishing company in 1903, and his first publication, Winsett's Favorite Songs, quickly became popular among the Baptist and Pentecostal churches of the American South. Pentecostal Power followed in 1907; that year Winsett completed postgraduate work at a conservatory. He married Birdie Harris in 1908, and had three sons and two daughters with her. He settled in Fort Smith, Arkansas, continuing to compose gospel songs, of which he would write over 1,000 in total. He became a minister in 1923, and was affiliated with the Church of God (Seventh Day). Birdie Harris died late in the 1920s, and shortly thereafter Winsett moved back to Tennessee. He founded a new company in Chattanooga, and published more shape note music books. He remarried, to Mary Ruth Edmonton, in 1930, and had three further children. Winsett's final publication, Best of All (1951), sold over 1 million copies, and in total his books sold over ten million copies. His song "Jesus Is Coming Soon" won a Dove Award for Gospel Song of the Year at the 1969 awards. He has been inducted into the Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame. --www.wikipedia.org
