Safety In God Alone Lyrics

Lighten our darkness, and show the way To a land of love and plenty and a pillow for my head to lay Oh Lord this burden's tiresome and weakness makes me stray Oh guide this lonely soul, in hope to You I pray. You'll try to outwit it, And lose, so you'll quit it, quite readily (Chorus:) Light up all your candles Keep the vigil tonight, Praying for salvation For it's always just in sight Tho' life is filled with hardships and mortal flesh is frail, Out striving for perfection seems always doomed to fail. Don't despair faint hearted, lift up your mourning veils And forge on fearlessly, seek out that Holy Grail. (Chorus) And when times are troubled and seeds of fear are sown, The world appears to crumble, and dreams are turned to stone, Beware evil doers, for all your sins atone, And heed the pilgrims cry "safety in God alone". (Chorus)
