Will There Be Light For Me?

Author: E. S. Roberts Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Will there be light at eventide Lyrics: 1 Will there be light at eventide, When my bark unmoors for sea? Will faith’s bright ray illume the way? O will there be light for me? Will there be light? O will there be light? O will there be light for me, for me? Will there be light at eventide, When my bark unmoors for sea? 2 When I draw near the other shore, Will there be a shining band Of those I knew and loved on earth, Awaiting me on the strand? Will there be light? O will there be light? O will there be light for me, for me? Will there be light of faces bright, On the banks of the crystal sea? 3 On yonder shore are the golden gates That lead to the city fair; Where Jesus stands, with outstretched hands, To bid me welcome there. There will be light, O there will be light, O there will be light for me, for me. He is the light of glory bright, That shone on Calvary. Used With Tune: [Will there be light at eventide] Text Sources: The Gospel Hymnal, by Edwin O. Excell (Cincinnati, Ohio: Eaton & Mains, 1899), number 138
