Author: Mrs. C. D. Martin Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When the heart is filled with sighing Lyrics: 1 When the heart is filled with sighing,
His love lights up the way;
When the eyes are dim with crying,
His love lights up the way.
Chorus:
His love lights up the way,
Love brighten each day;
How happy our hearts should be
When love lights up the way.
2 Tho’ the path seems dark before me,
His love lights up the way;
Tho’ the clouds hang thickly o’er me,
His love brightens each day. [Chorus]
3 Tho’ His blessings seem to tarry,
His love lights up the way;
Heavy is the cross I carry,
His love brightens each day. [Chorus]
4 From the cross to home in heaven,
His love lights up the way;
As each task to me is given,
His love brightens each day. [Chorus]

Civilla D. Martin
1866 - 1948 Person Name: Mrs. C. D. Martin Author of "His Love Lights Up the Way" in Sunday School and Revival Martin, Civilla Durfee (Jordan Falls, Nova Scotia, August 21, 1866--March 9, 1948, Atlanta, Georgia). Daughter of James N. and Irene (Harding) Holden. She married Rev. John F. Geddes, Congregational minister of Coventryvilee, N.Y. at Jordan Falls Methodist Church, Shelbourne Co., Nova Scotia, on May 19, 1891. There is thus far no information about their marriage and its end. After several years of teaching school, she married Walter Stillman Martin, a Baptist minister, and traveled with him in evangelistic work. However, because of frail health, she was compelled to remain home much of the time. In 1916, they became members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). They had one son, A.G. Martin. In her writing, she used only her initials, "C.D." rather than her full name of that of her composer-husband. She is reputed to have written several hundred hymns and religious songs. Her first one, "God Will Take Care of You," written in 1904 became world-famous. Her husband wrote the music for this and many of her other hymns. "His Eye is on the Sparrow" written in 1906 and set to music by Charles H. Gabriel, has also received wide acclaim. In addition to the above, "Like As A Father," "A Welcome for Me," and "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power" are among her better-known hymns.
Her husband and collaborator, W.S. Martin (1862-1935) preceded her in death. For the last 29 years of her life, she made her home in Atlanta, Georgia, where she was a member of the First Christian Church. Her funeral was held on March 10, 1948 at Spring Hill and the interment was in the West View Cemetery in Atlanta.
