Christian Endeavor Hymns ‎#59

59. Light of Life

1 Light of Life, so softly shining
From the cross of Calvary;
Never waning, nor declining,
Shine on me, O shine on me.

Refrain:
Shine on me, O shine on me,
Light of Life, O shine on me;
With the love of Jesus beaming,
Shine on me, O shine on me.

2 Light of Life, that knows no fading,
From all changes Thou art free;
Holy Light, that knows no shading,
Shine on me, O shine on me. [Refrain]

3 Light of Life, that knows no setting,
Day and night Thy beams I see;
Joy and peace and life begetting,
Shine on me, O shine on me. [Refrain]

4 Light of Life, in days of gladness,
To Thy radiance I would flee;
Be my strength in days of sadness,
Shine on me, O shine on me. [Refrain]
