Let the light of Christ show through

Representative Text

1 There are blessings hidden in the stormy clouds,
Trust His blessed words so true;
We can meet our worries with a cheerful heart,
If the light of Christ shines through.

Chorus:
Let the light of Christ shine through,
Let the light of Christ shine through,
Know the touch of love from God above,
Let the light of Christ shine through;
With a cheerful heart, Only do your part,
In his service be thou true;
He will bless each deed,
He will help in need,
Let the light of Christ shine through.

2 There are blessings waiting in the thorny path,
Giving joy we never knew;
And a benediction in each duty done,
If the light of Christ shines through. [Chorus]

3 Pray'r will change our struggles into victories,
If his holy will we do;
It will set a rainbow in the low'ring skies,
If the light of Christ shines through. [Chorus]

Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
