• Lyrics:
  Walk in the light! so shalt thou know
  That fellowship of love
  His Spirit only can bestow,
  Who reigns in light above.
  
  chorus:
  If we walk in the light, as He is in the light
  We have fellowship one with another
  And the blood of Jesus Christ His Son
  Cleanseth us, cleanseth us,
  Cleanseth us from all sin.
  
  Walk in the light! and thou shalt own
  Thy darkness pass'd away,
  Because that light has on thee shone,
  In which is perfect day.
  
  Walk in the light! and e'en the tomb
  No fearful shade shall wear;
  Glory shall chase away its gloom,
  For Christ hath conquered there.
  
  Walk in the light! and thou shall see
  Thy onward pathway bright,
  For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee,
  And God himself is Light.
  
  
  • Bernard Barton (1784-1849), 1826
