lyrics

When the world is dark and cold,
To thy guiding light I hold.
See, the memories up on high,
Blazing through the winter sky.

Shine, thou everlasting glow,
Shine, and let thy spirit show.
Guide me through the longest night,
Out of darkness comes the light.

As we trudge through snow so deep,
The light is the hope we keep.
No matter how dark are our days.
Look for the light's comforting rays.

When clouds eclipse the warming sun.
Enter the 'race' as it can be won.
With no more sadness, fear or pain,
In light our memories will remain.

Shine, thou everlasting glow,
Shine, and let thy spirit show.
Guide me through the longest night,
Out of darkness comes the light.

When the world is dark and cold,
To thy guiding light I hold.
See, the memories up on high,
Blazing through the winter sky.

Shine, thou everlasting glow,
Shine, and let thy spirit show.
Guide me through the longest night,
Out of darkness comes the light.
