Our eyes have seen a marvelous light Removing all darkness from our sight From age to age the sinner's eye to behold The love of God revealed, never left untold It is the light of the world to see A beacon directing the lost to be Pure and holy, faithful and sure From sin and sickness he is the cure Those who refuse to be discovered Will scorn the word to be uncovered But those who humbly will repent Become God's chosen, heaven sent When you find the one who suffered loss Deny yourself and take up your cross Forsake the world and all fleshly lust And in Christ the Lord put all your trust It's time for all on earth to know The one who died for us to show A marvelous light, redemption's plea To overcome the darkness and be made free So do not fear to be made known Or rant and rave or moan and groan But accept the verdict from the Son Who shed his blood, the victory won And the light will not cause you to fear But will be a blessing as you draw near To the Prince of Peace and Lord of Lords And we will dwell together in one accord Amen |
