Author: Rev. L. F. Cole Hymnal: Good Will #22 (1882) Scripture: Galatians 6:14 First Line: Shadows deep across the world Refrain First Line: Blaze on, then, O Cross of Glory Lyrics: 1 Shadows deep across the world,
Hide the path I fain would go;
Oft in dang’rous paths I’m hurl’d,
Fill’d with doubt and fear and woe.
Refrain:
Blaze on, then, O Cross of Glory,
Flame out grandly thro’ the night;
Flame on, flame on in thy beauty,
Fill the darken’d world with light.
2 Bursting out upon the gloom,
Flames the cross in beauty bright;
I can shun my dreaded doom,
If I follow in its light. [Refrain]
3 As the moon marks all the night,
Silver paths across the sea,
Mark, O cross, a way of light,
Thro’ this world’s dark night for me. [Refrain]
4 When the morn breaks in the east,
I shall stand beneath thy arms,
Safe beside thee I shall rest,
Safe from all the world’s alarms. [Refrain]
5 Gate of Paradise thou art,
Ever open to my feet;
Shining thro’ thee to my heart,
Heaven’s beauteous light I greet. [Refrain]
6 So I hope at last to stand,
Where there shall be no more night;
One of heaven’s praising band,
Led there by thy blessed light. [Refrain]
