If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1 John 1:7
Words: Caroline A. Mason, in the Hymn and Tune Book (Boston, Massachusetts: American Unitarian Association, 1877), number 209.
Music: Harville James Flint (1779–1855) (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know when the music was written, or where to get a good picture of Flint (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
I cannot walk in darkness long,
My Light is by my side;
I cannot stumble or go wrong
While following such a guide.
He is my stay and my defense,
How shall I fail or fall?
My keeper is Omnipotence;
My Ruler ruleth all.
The powers below and powers above
Are subject to His care;
I cannot wander from His love,
Whose love is everywhere.
