1 Will there be light at eventide,
When my bark unmoors for sea?
Will faith's bright ray illume the way,
O will there be light for me?
Chorus:
Will there be light? O will there be light?
O will there be light for me, for me?
Will there be light at eventide,
When my bark unmoors for sea?
2 When I draw near the other shore,
Will there be a shining band
Of those I knew and loved on earth,
Awaiting me on the strand?
Chorus:
Will there be light? O will there be light?
O will there be light for me, for me?
Will there be light of faces bright,
On the banks of the crystal sea?
3 On yonder shore are the golden gates,
That lead to the city fair,
Where Jesus stands, with outstretch'd hands,
To bid me welcome there.
Chorus:
There will be light, O there will be light,
O there will be light for me, for me,
He is the Light of glory bright,
That shone on Calvary.
