306. Our Father Has Light In His Window

1 Our Father has light in His window,
It shines thro' the dark'ning night
And carries a friendly greeting
To all from the Lord of light.
Our Father has light in His window,
It brightens the darkest road,
It comforts in need and sorrow
And points us the way to God.

2 Our Father has light in His window,
It shows us the way across
The valley of death's grim shadow
Which Jesus has built for us.
Our Father has light in His window,
When toward His light we move
He sendeth His angels to lead us
To mansions in heav'n above.

3 Our Father has light in His window,
It beckons thro' storm and gloam
And, beaming with loving kindness,
It bids us: Come home, come home!
Our Father has light in His window,
That light is His blessed Word,
The word of His love and mercy
Thro' faith in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
