1 Down in the valley of sorrow and sin,
Some one is lost in the darkness of night;
Some one that you to your Savior may win;
Some one is watching, is watching your light!
Chorus:
Watching your light! watching your light!
Some one is watching, is watching your light!
O does it shine with a radiance bright,
Some one is watching, is watching your light!
2 Long is the journey and some one is weak;
Some one if tempted may fall in the fight;
Some one will win if His promise you speak:
Some one is watching, is watching your light! [Chorus]
3 Touched by the story of Christ and His love,
Some one will turn from the wrong to the right,
Looking for guidance to heaven above;
Some one is watching, is watching your light! [Chorus]
4 On that glad morning, when all shall arise,
Saved by the infinite pow’r of His might,
Some one will greet you at home in the skies;
Some one is watching, is watching your light! [Chorus]
