Wonderful Light

The sun is only a candle,

And the moon is barely a spark.
The stars are goodbying embers;
Without you, they'd fade in the dark.

You are the light of the universe.

You count the stars; you call them by name.

With one word the darkness you disperse;

You are the the true light, the living flame.

(CHORUS:)

Lead me with your goodness unchanging,

From this chasm to luminous heights.

Though the night is a force wide-ranging,

You scatter it with your wonderful light.

When shadows haunt me and tempt me

And whisper, "return to the night,"

Your powerful rays defend me;

You shine, and all shadows take flight.

You are the light of the world below.

Burn in my heart; for you I will shine.

Iwant to follow you; I long to go

Anywhere you lead me, light divine.

(CHORUS:)

Lead me with your goodness unchanging,

Through the lowlands to luminous heights.

Though the night is a force wide-ranging,

You scatter it with your wonderful light.

You are a lamp guiding my way.

Why should I fret? Why should I stray?

Mountains are leveling;

Valleys have risen to view.

Pathways are reveling,

Light of he heavens, for you.

(CHORUS:)

Lead me with your goodness unchanging;

In your presence my soul will delight.

Though the night is a force wide-ranging,

You scatter it with your wonderful light.

You scatter it with your wonderful light.
