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.

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]

And tow’rd the radiant mansions of everlasting day
