My Light and Song

Why should life a wea­ry jour­ney seem?

Jesus is my light and song!

Why should I my cross a bur­den deem?

Jesus is my light and song!

All my way is marked by love di­vine;

Round my cross the rays of glo­ry shine;

Christ Him­self com­pan­ion is of mine—

Jesus is my light and song!

Jesus is my light

Je­sus is my light

Jesus is my light and song;

Jesus is my light

Je­sus is my light

Jesus is my light and song.

What tho’ foes at ev­ery step I meet?

Jesus is my light and song!

What tho’ snares are rea­dy for my feet?

Jesus is my light and song!

He was first of all to tread the way

He was first to bat­tle in the fray;

Now on Him my ev­ery hope I stay—

Jesus is my light and song!

When I come to Jor­dan’s roll­ing tide

Jesus is my light and song!

When the waves like mount­ains ov­er­ride

Jesus is my light and song!

Thro’ the flood His form shall still be near

Thro’ the tide His voice shall sweet­ly cheer;

I shall Jor­dan breast with­out a fear—

Jesus is my light and song!
