I am walking each day
In this world below,
In the glory that shines from above;
O ’tis precious to know
As I onward go,
In the light of God’s wonderful love.
Refrain
It is wonderful, wonderful love,
That shines on my path from above;
It brightens the way, turning night into day,
The light of God’s wonderful love.
When the shadows of sin,
With its dark despair,
Would my visions of glory subdue;
Lo, from Heaven above
There shines on my soul
The full light of God’s wonderful love.
Refrain
When my labors shall cease
And my soul’s set free,
I shall go to the land of pure love;
With my Savior I’ll rest,
And I’ll happy be,
In the light of God’s wonderful love.
Refrain
