I Am the Light

Verse 1

O pilgrim thro’ a desert drear, How dark and lone our way, Till, gently falling on the ear, We hear a sweet voice say:

Chorus

I am the light, I am the light; He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life, shall have the light of life.

Verse 2

Tho’ we must walk by faith alone, And cannot walk by sight, Yet, trusting as the days go on, Our path is ever bright.

Verse 3

Tho’ clouds may rise, and storms may chill, Yet, beaming far above, The eye of faith discerneth still The light of perfect love.

Verse 4

The sun will shine, the storm pass o’er, The darkness flee away; The light is shining more and more, Unto the perfect day.

Verse 5

O wondrous light, thy cheering ray Dispels our deepest gloom, Transforms the darkness into day, And lights the silent tomb.
