Be a lamp for all my days, Lord Bear a torch that I might see Through the fog of bitter pain and Know your purpose lies beneath Oh to taste and see the gospel As I never have before Be a lamp for all my days and I shall walk in endless joy As I sojourn cross this desert Through the plains of doubtful nights Speak the words that guide my footsteps Let them shine as stars so bright Point me northward to that country Where my soul will find its home Be a lamp for all my days and I shall walk in endless joy You're the lamp, the light of heaven Dawn of mercy for all men Through your death and resurrection Sons of night are born again What a gift so free and moving Sets ablaze my fainting soul Be a lamp for all my days and I shall walk in endless joy O to taste and see the gospel As I never have before Be a lamp for all my days and I shall walk in endless joy
