Representative Text

1 There’s a light shining down on my pathway today,
Causing darkness and shadows to flee;
And my soul doth rejoice as I walk in the way,
There’s a light shining down upon me.

Refrain:
There’s a light shining down, down from heaven on me,
There’s a light shines from heaven on me;
I will walk all my days in its wonderful rays,
There’s a light shines from heaven on me.

2 Once I wandered in darkness and groped in the night,
Unto Jesus for mercy I called;
He did hear my sad cry, and He opened my eyes,
And a light on my pathway did fall. [Refrain]

3 He will bless everyone who will unto Him come,
He will turn all their darkness to day;
Will you come to Him now and in lowliness bow,
That this light may shine down on your way? [Refrain]
