'Walk in the light' (hymn) written by Bernard Barton

Walk in the light, and thou shalt own

Thy darkness passed away,

Because that light hath on thee shone

In which is perfect day.


Walk in the light, and thou shalt find

Thy heart made truly His

Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined,

In whom no darkness is.


Walk in the light, and sin, abhorred,

Shall ne'er defile again;

The blood of Jesus Christ thy Lord

Shall cleanse from every stain.


Walk in the light, so shalt thou know

That fellowship of love

His Spirit only can bestow,

Who reigns in light above.


Walk in the light, and e'en the tomb 

No fearful shade shall wear;

Glory shall chase away its gloom,

For Christ hath conquered there.


Walk in the light; pursue thy way

Till faith be turned to sight;

For in the land of endless day

God is Himself the light.
