Walk in the Light

403 Walk in the Light

1 Walk in the light! so shalt thou know
   That fellowship of love
   His Spirit only can bestow,
   Who reigns in light above.

2 Walk in the light! and thou shalt find
   Thy heart made truly His,
   Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined,
   In whom no darkness is.

3 Walk in the light! and thou shalt own
   Thy darkness passed away,
   Because that light hath on thee shone,
   In which is perfect day.

4 Walk in the light! and thine shall be
   A path, though thorny, bright:
   For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee,
   And God Himself is light.
