There's a Light

Author: Ulysses Phillips Meter: 12.9.12.9 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: There's a light shining down on my pathway today Refrain First Line: There's a light, blessed light Lyrics: 1 There’s a light shining down on my pathway today, Causing darkness and shadows to flee; And my soul doth rejoice as I walk in the way, There’s a light shining down upon me. Refrain: There’s a light shining down, down from heaven on me, There’s a light shines from heaven on me; I will walk all my days in its wonderful rays, There’s a light shines from heaven on me. 2 Once I wandered in darkness and groped in the night, Unto Jesus for mercy I called; He did hear my sad cry, and He opened my eyes, And a light on my pathway did fall. [Refrain] 3 He will bless everyone who will unto Him come, He will turn all their darkness to day; Will you come to Him now and in lowliness bow, That this light may shine down on your way? [Refrain] Evening Light Songs, 1987 (Timeless Truths) Used With Tune: [There's a light shining down on my pathway today]
