The beacon light is pointing to thy rest; Dark is the night, And rocky is the coast, But sure it shines above the billow’s crest; Christ is thy light! 2 Christ is thy strength, O faint and weary soul! Thy strife is vain; embrace without delay The grace that pleads With thee To make thee whole; Who by His blood has washed thy sins away; Christ is thy strength! 3 Christ is thy guide, O pilgrim seeking rest! He gently bids thee open wide the door For Him to enter In and be thy guest; O trust and follow Him forevermore; Christ is thy guide! 4 Christ is thy hope! O cling to self no more, No more to hopes which flatter and decay, But to the Rock That stands the tempest’s roar, On which thy trembling ark will find a stay; Christ is thy hope! 5 Christ is thy king! He wore the crown for thee, A crown of thorns, a diadem so meet; But bow before His love that made thee free, And humbly cast thy crown before His feet; Christ is thy king!
