1. Over our pathway, enshrouded by night
God has a beacon, refulgent and bright;
Then while its glory may burst on your sight,
Follow the beautiful light.
Chorus
Follow the beautiful light, (beautiful light,)
Follow the beautiful light, (beautiful light,)
Onward and upward, tho’ dark be the night,
Follow the beautiful light. (beautiful light.)
2. What tho’ the shadows thy soul may dismay?
Jesus thy light can turn night into day;
All gloomy shadows will vanish away,
Follow the beautiful light.
3. Never look back on the path thou has trod,
Never look down with thy face to the sod;
Walk straight ahead in the light of thy God,
Follow the beautiful light.
4. Follow right onward thro’ life’s stormy blast,
Follow till storm clouds and shadows are past;
Then when you enter the valley at last,
Follow the beautiful light.
