There’s a Light that is shining in the Heart of a man
It’s the Light that was shining when the world began
There’s a Light that is shining in the Turk and the Jew
There’s a Light that is shining, friend, in me and in you.

(chorus)
Walk in the Light, wherever you may be
Walk in the Light, wherever you may be
With my old leather britches and my shaggy, shaggy locks
I am walking in the glory of the Light, said Fox

With a book and a steeple and a bell and a key
Well they’ll bind you forever, but they can’t, said he
For the book, it will perish and the steeple will fall
And the Light will be shining at the end of it all.

(chorus)

If we give you a pistol, will you fight for the Lord?
But you can’t kill the devil with a gun or a sword.
Will you swear on the Bible? “I will not!” said he,
“For the Truth is more holy than the book to me.”

(chorus)

There’s an ocean of darkness and I drown in the night
Til I come through the darkness to the ocean of Light
and the Light is forever, and the Light it is free
And I walk in the glory of the Light, said he.
