The Light of God Is Falling

The light of God is fall­ing

Upon life’s com­mon way;

The Mas­ter’s voice is call­ing

Come

walk with Me to­day;

No du­ty can seem low­ly

To him who lives with Thee

And all of life grows ho­ly

O Christ of Ga­li­lee!

Who shares his life’s pure plea­sures

And walks the hon­est road

Who trades with heap­ing mea­sures

And lifts his bro­ther’s load

Who turns the wrong down blunt­ly

And lends the right a hand

He dwells in God’s own coun­try

He tills the Ho­ly Land.

Where hu­man lives are throng­ing

In toil and pain and sin

While clois­tered hearts are long­ing

To bring the king­dom in

O Christ

the el­der Bro­ther

Of proud and beat­en men

When they have found each oth­er

The king­dom will come then!

Thy ran­somed host in glo­ry

All souls that sin and pray

Turn to­ward the cross that bore Thee;

Behold the Man! they say;

And while Thy church is plead­ing

For all who would do good

We hear Thy true voice lead­ing

Our song of bro­ther­hood.
