Lo, a gleam from yonder heaven

1
Lo, a gleam from yonder heaven 
breaks upon our starless night. 
Like a kindly hand it beckons, 
"Walk in me; I am the Light." 

                        Refrain:
                                Jesus, Light serene, eternal! 
                                Glorious sun of righteousness! 
                                Morning Star of all the ages, 
                                with thy beams our spirits bless. 

2
When we're tossed on troubled waters, 
on temptation's ocean wide, 
like a silver flood descending, 
he our souls will safely guide. 

                        Refrain

3
Out of sin, and out of weakness, 
this fair light still beckons on, 
through the valley of all shadows, 
to his own resplendent dawn.

                        Refrain
