Verse 1
Walk in the light, so shalt thou know
That fellowship of love
His Spirit only can bestow,
Who reigns in light above.
Verse 2
Walk in the light, o'er sin abhorred
Thou shalt the victory gain;
The blood of Jesus Christ Thy Lord
Cleanseth from every stain.
Verse 3
Walk in the light, and thou shalt find
Thy heart made truly His,
Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined,
In whom no darkness is.
Verse 4
Walk in the light, and e'en the tomb
No fearful shade shall wear;
Glory shall chase away the gloom,
For Christ hath conquered there.
Verse 5
Walk in the light, and thine shall be.
A path, though thorny, bright;
For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee,
And God Himself is light.
