In the Light

Verse 1

What glorious thing to be In the light Which the saints of old did see, The true light of God. Revelation's holy light Is the light, And all else is dark as night Save this light of God.

Verse 2

Long the earth in darkness lay Without light, But the darkness fled away Before the light of God. God has spoken from on high, This the light, And now bids the world come nigh To this light of God.

Verse 3

Prophets are restored again, In the light, And the gospel gifts to men, In the light of God. Blessings to the ancients given, In the light, Are again received from heaven, In the light of God.

Verse 4

Let us keep our spirits pure, In the light, And unto the end endure In the light of God. Then when Jesus comes again, In the light, We shall live and with him reign In the light of God.
