Carry the Light

lyricist: Eliza Hewitt, 1892
Composer: Adam Geibel

Many in dark­ness are far as­tray

Carry the light

car­ry the light

Spreading the beams of the Gos­pel day

Carry the beau­ti­ful light;

Tell them the gift of the Fa­ther’s love

How the dear Sav­ior He gave;

Tell them of mer­cy that smiles ab­ove

Jesus al­migh­ty to save!

Light! light! beau­ti­ful light!

Streaming from Heav­en’s fair height;

Living for Je­sus

our pre­cious Sav­ior

Carry the beau­ti­ful light.

Let us unite in this best em­ploy

Carry the light

car­ry the light;

Tell the good news of sal­va­tion’s joy

Carry the beau­ti­ful light.

Singing of Je­sus

our songs are bright

Bright with the bless­ing He brings;

Helping to scat­ter the shades of night.

Sing of the Lord’s heal­ing wings.

Living for Je­sus

we’ll work and pray

Carry the light

car­ry the light;

Walking with Him in the shin­ing way

Carry the beau­ti­ful light;

O

there’s a glo­ry that fills the heart

Sunshine of par­don and peace;

Let us the sec­ret to all im­part

Helping the king­dom’s in­crease.

Clearer and clear­er the day­spring glows

Carry the light

car­ry the light;

Brighter and bright­er the morn­ing grows

Carry the beau­ti­ful light.

Jesus is com­ing in won­drous might

Coming in splen­dor to reign;

Sorrow and sigh­ing shall take their flight

Eden shall blos­som again.
