The King of Glory ‎#195

195. Be a Cheering Light

1 As thro’ life you journey,
Be a cheering light,
Like the sun at morning,
Beautiful and bright;
Shine in gloomy places,
As you pass them by,
Cheer the lives that sorrow,
Gladden those who sigh.

Refrain:
Daily, hourly, be a cheering light,
Glowing, gleaming, beautiful and bright;
Like a beacon burning in the night,
Glowing, gleaming, beautiful and bright.

2 Like a beacon burning
On a hill at night,
You may shed around you
Happiness and light;
Try to help the weary,
Thro’ the dreary days,
Try to guide the wayward,
From forbidden ways. [Refrain]

3 Steadily and brightly,
Shining day by day,
You will scatter blessings
All along the way;
Less of care and sorrow,
Many hearts will know,
If you gleam and glisten
Ev’rywhere you go. [Refrain]
