Let the Light Stream In

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1891
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

O

let the light stream in

The glo­ri­ous light of day

That o’er the face of na­ture sheds

A bright and ge­ni­al ray;

We need its beams our steps to guide

Ere dai­ly toils begin

Then op­en wide the door of pray­er

And let the light stream in.

Let the light stream in

Let the light stream in

Then op­en wide the door of pray­er

And let the light stream in.

O

let the light stream in

The light of Gos­pel day

That shin­eth through the right­eous­ness

Of Christ

the Truth

the Way;

’Twill teach us how by faith in Him

Immortal souls to win

Then op­en wide our will­ing hearts

And let the light stream in.

Let the light stream in

Let the light stream in

Then op­en wide our will­ing hearts

And let the light stream in.

O

let the light stream in

Where homes are dark and drear

The light of God’s eter­nal love

That con­quers ev­ery fear;

Its gen­tle smile new joys may wake

Where sor­row long hath been

Then op­en wide the door of hope

And let the light shine in.

Let the light stream in

Let the light stream in

Then op­en wide the door of hope

And let the light stream in.
