but shall have the light of life.

LIGHT OF THE WORLD
1.
Light of the world, faint were our weary feet-
With wan-dering far;
But Thou didst come, our lonely hearts to greet,
O Morning Star;
And Thou didst bid us lift our gaze on high,
To see the glory of the glowing sky.
2.
In days long past we missed our homeward way;
We could not see;
Blind were our eyes, our feet were bound to stray:
How blind to Thee!
But Thou didst pity, Lord, our gloomy plight;
And Thou didst touch our eyes and give them sight.
3.
Now hallelujahs rise along the road-
Our glad feet tread;
Thy love hath shared our sorrow’s heavy load;
There’s light o’erhead:
Glory to Thee whose love hath led us on,
Glory for all the great things Thou hast done!
A blessèd Seventh Day Sabbath to all believers.
In the Son’s Name - For the Father’s glory.
