Representative Text

1 The Lord is my light, my star of morn,
The dawn of my hope in life that’s heaven-born;
The dark shades of night away must fly,
When love divine within doth shine,
From God on high.

Refrain:
Shine on, O Love divine,
My light and my salvation ever be;
Shine on, in splendor bright,
To guide my steps aright.
Shine on, O Love divine,
My light and my salvation ev’ry be;
Thou art the Truth, the Way,
That shall lead to perfect day.

2 The Lord is my light, my radiant way,
My morning of joy that glorifies the day;
No cloud need o’ercast my happy sky,
When love divine within doth shine,
From God on high. [Refrain]

3 The Lord is my light, all lights in one,
The moon and the stars, the glowing midday sun;
No bright, glitt’ring orb need stud the sky,
When love divine within doth shine,
From God on high. [Refrain]
