1 Light is a pleasant thing to see, Thy Word true Light doth give, Nothing can, Lord, so pleasant be, 'Tis that by which we live,
1 LIght is a pleasant thing to see, Thy Word true Light doth give, Nothing can, Lord, so pleasant be, 'Tis that by which we live,
2 By which we walk, by which we work, And all things else we do; All they who are without this light, Don't know whither they go.
3 Thy Word discovery, Lord, doth make, It manifesteth things; From thence we do our judgment take, It Knowledge to us brings:
4 What once we were we know hereby How sad was then our state; Sin's filthy nature through it we 'spy, And it do come to hate.
