66. I Need the Light

1 When the night is dark and the way is steep,
Oh, I need the blessed light that will guide me in the night;
For his promise true he will ever keep,
And will lead me by his light divine.

Chorus:
I need the light, the blessed light,
I need the light that leads from earth to heaven above;
I need the light, the blessed light,
I need the light that leads to God.

2 Walking day by day in the storm-pressed way,
Oh, I need the blessed light that will guide me in the night;
If I walk with him by my side he’ll stay,
And will lead me by his light divine. [Chorus]

3 From thy precious care may I never stray,
Oh, I need the blessed light that will guide me in the night;
For thy hand will guide into perfect day,
And will lead me by thy light divine. [Chorus]
