I Shine In The Light Of God

I shine in the light of God
His likeness stamps my brow
Through the river of death my feet have trod
And I reign in glory now.

George Goble

The first verse of 'I shine in the light of God'
I shine in the light of God
His likeness stamps my brow;
Thro' the shadow of death my feet have trod
And I reign in glory now;

I shine in the light of God
His likeness stamps my brow;
Thro' the shadow of death my feet have trod
And I reign in glory now;

I have found the joy of heaven,
I am one of the angel band;
To my head a crown is given,
A harp is in my hand

I have learned the song they sing,
Whom Jesus hath made free;
And the glorious halls of haven still ring
With my new born melody

No sin, no grief, no pain,
Safe in my happy home,
My fears all fled, my doubts all slain,
My hour of triumph come.

No breaking heart is here,
No keen and thrilling pain,
No wasted cheek, where the frequenct tear
Hath rolled and left its stain.

Of friends of my mortal years
The trusted and the true,
You are walking still in the vale of tears
But I wait to welcome you.
