Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 339 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Walk in the light! so shalt thou know That fellowship of love His Spirit only can bestow Who reigns in light above, Who reigns in light above.

Verse 2

Walk in the light! and thou shalt own Thy darkness passed away; Because that light on thee hath shone In which is perfect day, In which is perfect day.

Verse 3

Walk in the light! and e'en the tomb No fearful shade shall wear; Glory shall chase away its gloom, For Christ hath conquered there, For Christ hath conquered there.

Verse 4

Walk in the light! and thine shall be A path, though thorny, bright; For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee, And God Himself is light, And God Himself is light.
