I Am the Light

Author: Mary B. Wingate Hymnal: Sacred Songs No. 1 #32 (1896) Topics: Life and Light First Line: O pilgrim thro' a desert drear Refrain First Line: I am the light, I am the light Lyrics: 1 O pilgrim thro’ a desert drear, How dark and lone our way, Till, gently falling on the ear, We hear a sweet voice say: Refrain: I am the light, I am the light; He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life, shall have the light of life. 2 Tho’ we must walk by faith alone, And cannot walk by sight, Yet, trusting as the days go on, Our path is ever bright. [Refrain] 3 Tho’ clouds may rise, and storms may chill, Yet, beaming far above, The eye of faith discerneth still The light of perfect love. [Refrain] 4 The sun will shine, the storm pass o’er, The darkness flee away; The light is shining more and more, Unto the perfect day. [Refrain] 5 O wondrous light, thy cheering ray Dispels our deepest gloom, Transforms the darkness into day, And lights the silent tomb. [Refrain] Scripture: Ephesians 5:14 Tune Title: [O pilgrim through a desert drear]

Will You Come and See the Light

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #96 (1996) Meter: 12.12.14.10 Topics: Light First Line: Will you come and see the light from the stable door? Lyrics: 1 Will you come and see the light from the stable door? It is shining newly bright, though it shone before. It will be your guiding star, it will show you who you are. Will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 2 Will you step into the light that can free the slave? It will stand for what is right, it will heal and save. By the pyramids of greed there's a longing to be freed. Will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 3 Will you tell about the light in the prison cell? Though it's shackled out of sight, it is shining well. When the truth is cut and bruised, and the innocent abused, will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 4 Will you join the hope, alight in a young girl's eyes, of the mighty put to flight by a baby's cries? When the lowest and the least are the foremost at the feast, will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 5 Will you travel by the light of the babe new born? In the candle lit at night there's a gleam of dawn, and the darkness all about is too dim to put it out: will you hide, or decide to meet the light? Tune Title: KELVINGROVE
