I wandered in the shades of night

I wandered in the shades of night,
Till Jesus came to me,
And with the sunlight of His love
Bid all my darkness flee.

Though clouds may gather in the sky,
And billows ’round me roll,
However dark the world may be,
I’ve sunlight in my soul.

While walking in the light of God,
I sweet communion find;
I press with holy vigor on
And leave the world behind.

Soon I shall see Him as He is,
The Light that came to me;
Behold the brightness of His face,
Throughout eternity.
