- 1Walk in the light: so shalt thou know
- That fellowship of love
- His Spirit only can bestow,
- Who reigns in light above.
- 2Walk in the light: and sin abhorred
- Shall ne'er defile again;
- The blood of Jesus Christ thy Lord
- Shall cleanse from every stain.
- 3Walk in the light: and thou shalt find
- Thy heart made truly His
- Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined,
- In whom no darkness is.
- 4Walk in the light: and thou shalt own
- Thy darkness passed away,
- Because that Light hath on thee shone
- In which is perfect day.
- 5Walk in the light: and e'en the tomb
- No fearful shade shall wear;
- Glory shall chase away its gloom,
- For Christ hath conquered there.
- 6Walk 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.
