We are walking in the beautiful light of God;
As ye journey, sweetly sing;
We are walking in the beautiful light of God.

We are walking in the light, beautiful light,
We are walking in the light, beautiful light,
We are walking in the light, in the beautiful, beautiful light,
We are walking in the beautiful light of God.

2 We are traveling home to God,
We are walking in the beautiful light of God;
In the way the fathers trod;
We are walking in the beautiful light of God. [Refrain]

3 Oh, ye banished seed, be glad!
We are walking in the beautiful light of God;
Christ our Advocate is made;
We are walking in the beautiful light of God. [Refrain]

We are walking in the beautiful light of God;
Zion’s city is in sight:
We are walking in the beautiful light of God. [Refrain]

We are walking in the beautiful light of God;
On the borders of your land;
We are walking in the beautiful light of God. [Refrain]

6 Lord, obedient we would go,
We are walking in the beautiful light of God;
Gladly leaving all below;
We are walking in the beautiful light of God. [Refrain]

7 Only Thou our Leader be;
We are walking in the beautiful light of God;
And we will still follow Thee.
We are walking in the beautiful light of God. [Refrain]
