There was dark­ness be­neath,
start
Star of the morn­ing, beam on our way;
So crys­tal clear, it’s ev­er dear,
The whole world was lost
The whole world was lost
For in the hour of sor­row,
That the mar­ve­lous glo­ry di­vine
If deep­est dark­ness cov­er me,
Like a pall on us is laid,

the dark­ness

And the sha­dow of death;
Through which we blind­ly stum­ble to the day,
Haste thro’ the shades of the lin­ger­ing night,
And makes the dark­ness fall,
The Light of the world is Je­sus!
The Light of the world is Je­sus!
To Heav­en trust the mor­row,
Till the whole world for Je­sus shall shine.
To Thee both night and day are bright,
It is I, be not afraid!
