WALKING IN THE LIGHT.
“But 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 from all sin.”
—1 John, i. 7.
Walk in the light! So shalt thou know
That fellowship of love,
His Spirit only can bestow,
Who reigns in light above.

Who reigns in light above.

Walk in the light!—and sin, abhorr'd,
Shall ne'er defile again;
The blood of Jesus Christ, thy Lord,
Shall cleanse from every stain.

Shall cleanse from every stain.
Walk in the light!—and thou shalt find
Thy heart made truly His,
Who dwells in cloudless light enshrin'd,
In whom no darkness is.

Thy darkness pass'd away,
Because that Light hath on thee shone
In which is perfect day.

No fearful shade shall wear;
Glory shall chase away its gloom,
For Christ hath conquer'd there!
No fearful shade shall wear;

For Christ hath conquer'd there!
Walk in the light!—and thine shalt be
A path, though thorny, bright;
For God, by grace, shall dwell in Thee,
And God himself is Light!

For God, by grace, shall dwell in Thee,
And God himself is Light!
