Light Is Shining

1 Round our way a light is shining,
‘Tis the holy word of God,
Like the lamp upon the pathway,
Which the saints of old once trod.

Refrain:
Precious, holy bible,
Words of truth and grace,
Pointing out the pathway
To our Father’s dwelling-place.

2 Clear it shows the rocks and pitfalls,
That upon the way we meet;
Bringing out the safest places,
As its glow shines round our feet. [Refrain]

3 As we read its sacred pages,
‘Tis the voice of God we hear;
And its light makes heaven’s glory
To our hearts seem very near. [Refrain]

4 Shining like a ray of blessing,
Full of joy and hope and peace,
‘Tis our guide, our rule, our comfort,
May our love for it increase. [Refrain]
