Light Of The World Thy Beams I Bless

Light of the world, thy beams I bless; On thee, bright Sun of Righteousness, My faith has fixed its eye; Guided by thee, through all I go, Nor fear the ruin spread below, For thou art always nigh.

Not all the powers of hell can fright A soul that walks with Christ in light; He walks, and cannot fall: Clearly he sees, and wins his way, Shining unto the perfect day, And more than conquers all.

I rest in thine almighty power; The name of Jesus is a tower That hides my life above; Thou canst, thou wilt my helper be; My confidence is all in thee, The faithful God of love.

Wherefore, in never-ceasing prayer, My soul to thy continual care I faithfully commend; Assured that thou through life shalt save, And show thyself beyond the grave My everlasting friend.
