Let Us Walk in the Light

There is a Light, a blessèd Light,
That comes from God above;
And in the face of Christ the Lord,
Reflects the Father’s love.

Refrain

Let us walk in the Light,
Ever walk in the Light of God;
Let us walk in the Light,
Ever walk in the Light of God.

There is a Light, a glorious Light,
That falls upon our way;
And brighter shineth as we go,
Till lost in perfect day.

Refrain

There is a Light, a Holy Light,
By which we now behold
The jasper walls, the pearly gates
And streets of shining gold.

Refrain

O blessèd, blessèd, Holy Light,
To all so freely giv’n;
Shine forth, shine forth, O Light of Life,
And guide us safe to Heav’n.

Refrain

Fanny Crosby (Frances Jane Crosby) is the most likely author; the style, refrain structure, and themes of divine light and heaven (jasper walls, pearly gates) are characteristic of her work. The hymn appears in 19th-century gospel song collections associated with her.
