Bid light within your heart to shine
Let darkness wear a shroud
Believe in Christ God’s Son divine
And be in truth endowed
Let evil beat a swift retreat
Let shame flee out your door
Receive the facts at Jesus’ feet
Where death threatens no more
Pay no regard nor walk with fools
With rebels in disguise
Obey in Christ my sacred rules
And in His name arise
Rise up and take the cross I give
Speak up and out for right
Spread wide the news others to live
And walk within the light
To feel my love, to understand
To know my saving grace
To see the evil in one’s land
And every far off place
Put on the shoes of peace my child
Bind truth around your waist
That other may be reconciled
Divide my word in haste
Open the eyes of those yet blind
The facts of Christ impart
With true salvation on your mind
And love within your heart
Stand firm my child in all my ways
In righteousness be true
Remaining strong throughout your days
And join my faithful few.....
