That Blessed Light

Author: Rev. T. M. Eastwood Hymnal: Songs for All #49 (1906) First Line: It is not dark where Jesus is Refrain First Line: That blessed Light, that blessed Light Lyrics: 1 It is not dark where Jesus is, He makes my pathway bright; The darkest night is turned to day When he becomes my light. Refrain: That blessed Light, that blessed Light That streams upon my way; I need no other sun nor star To guide by night or day. 2 When I am filled with sore distress And life is sad and drear, His gracious smile dispels my gloom, And fills my soul with cheer. [Refrain] 3 Oft have I seen the clouds depart When his benignant ray Has pierced the sable mystery And bade it flee away. [Refrain] 4 I will not fear death’s gloomy vale, Nor heed the pall and bier; The valley shall be filled with joy, If Jesus be but near. [Refrain] 5 The Saviour is the Light of Life When here by tempests driv’n; My Sun, that scatters ev’ry cloud; My Star, that guides to heavn’n. [Refrain] Tune Title: [It is not dark where Jesus is]
