1 In the sunlight of His glory we will walk today,
And his mercies great and numberless repeat;
Blessed Jesus walks beside us in the shining way,
Guiding, comforting his own, in converse sweet.
Refrain:
In the sunlight of his glory,
We will walk with him today;
In the sunlight of his glory;
We will walk with him alway.
2 In the sunlight of his glory while our souls abide,
Not a cloud can hide the beauty of his face;
In temptation, or in sorrow, we may always hide
In the all-sufficient shelter of his grace. [Refrain]
3 In the sunlight of his glory as we onward go,
We will shed on other lives the blissful rays;
Growing more and more like Jesus while we dwell below,
Spending in his joyful service all our days. [Refrain]
