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 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 ♪ As I sojourn 'cross this dessert Through the plains of doubtful night Speak the words that guide my footsteps Let them shine as stars so bright Point me northward to Thy 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
