1. Let the blessed love-light linger as the days are flying past,
Let it be among the precious things that last;
Let it light the way around us with a warm and cheery ray,
Chasing dark and gloomy shadows far away.
Chorus:
Blessed love-light! (Blessed love-light,)
Let it linger, (let it linger,)
Let it sparkle in our faces as we go;
(Let it sparkle in our faces as we go;)
It will brighten ev’ry day,
It will drive the clouds away,
Till the world with heav’nly beams is all aglow (is all aglow).
2. Let the blessed love-light linger as it gleams from Bethlehem’s Star,
Sending happy rays to distant lands afar;
As it streams with softened radiance from the cross on Calv’ry’s hill,
Leading sinners to the only Savior still.
3. Let the blessed love-light linger, O let Jesus dwell within,
For his presence drives away the clouds of sin;
Let not proud nor selfish motives cast a shadow o’er the heart,
For the Savior’s pow’r can bid them all depart.
