Let the Gospel Light Shine In

1 To the love of the Father thy heart unseal;
Let the gospel light shine in;
Unto him lift thy soul, at his cross low kneel;
Let the gospel light shine in.
Let its golden rays flood each darkened room;
Dwell no longer thou in the joyless gloom;
Let its radiance sweet all the soul illume;
Let the gospel light shine in.

Refrain:
Let the blessed gospel light shine in,
Let the blessed gospel light shine in;
All the clouds will lift, all the night be past;
Let the gospel light shine in.

2 With thy sins and thy griefs hast thou wrestled long?
Let the gospel light shine in;
And thy soul shall arise to thy Lord in song;
Let the gospel light shine in.
Every darkened place ‘neath its rays shall glow;
All thy cares shall pass like the melting snow;
And thy heart the peace of the blest shall know;
Let the gospel light shine in. [Refrain]

3 Open wide now thy heart to love’s golden rays;
Let the gospel light shine in;
To thy lips shall leap songs, happy songs of praise;
Let the gospel light shine in.
Dwell no longer thou in thy shadowed place;
Lift thine eyes with joy to the Father’s face;
Giving thanks to him for his love and grace,
Let the gospel light shine in. [Refrain]
