'Tis a glorious thing to be

1 'Tis a glor'ous thing to be,
In the light, in the light
Which the saints of old did see,
The true light of God:
Revelation's holy light,
Is the light, is the light,
And all else is dark as night,
Save this light of God.

Refrain:
Let us walk in the light,
In the light, in the light,
Let us walk in the light,
In the light of God.

2 Long the earth in darkness lay,
Without light, without light,
But the darkness fled away
Before the light of God:
God has spoken from on high
This the light, this, the light,
And now bids the world come nigh,
To the light of God. [Refrain]

3 Prophets are restored again,
In the light, in the light,
And the gospel gifts to men,
In the light of God:
Blessings to the ancients giv'n,
In the light, in the light,
Are again received from heav'n,
In the light of God. [Refrain]

4 Let us keep our spirits pure,
In the light, in the light,
And unto the end endure,
In the light of God;
Then when Jesus comes again,
In the light, in the light,
We shall live and with Him reign,
In the light of God. [Refrain]
