A Light Along the Way

The Lord hath made this world of ours

Most beau­ti­ful and bright:

The gold­en sun to rule by day

The moon and stars by night;

But souls are wan­d’ring far from Him

In dark­ened paths as­tray;

So make me

Sav­ior

more and more

A light along the way.

A light along the way

Make me

dear Lord

I pray;

Love’s hap­py rays

Show forth Thy praise

A light along the way.

A light along the way

Make me

dear Lord

I pray;

Love’s hap­py rays

Show forth Thy praise

A light along the way.

So ma­ny need a help­ing hand

A kind­ly word of cheer

To tell them of the migh­ty Friend

Whose grace is al­ways near.

O make me prompt to hear Thy voice

And rea­dy to ob­ey

That I may be

to sad­dened hearts

A light along the way.

Some lives shine out like bea­cons grand

Some seem but can­dles small

But if we tru­ly shine for Him

The Lord hath need of all.

O may His Spir­it fill my soul

And lead me

day by day

That

tho’ un­wor­thy

I shall be

A light along the way.
