English text
Encircled in the arms of heaven’s love
With grateful heart I walk the path prepared for me
The Savior is my light, my comfort and my guide
And his word is a lamp unto my feet
Yet all around me others wander lost
Whom will he send to seek them as they stray?
When mists of darkness rise to blind his children’s eyes
Who will show the way? Who will show the way?
“A city on a hill cannot be hid,
Let your light so shine,” the Savior said
Chorus:
Like Esther in her courage, like Joseph in his faith
Like Ruth in her devotion, like Nephi in his strength
I will stand for truth and righteousness, reflecting heaven’s light
And my life will be like a beacon in the night
For I will stand as a witness of Christ
The Spirit whispers peace into my soul
In every trial, in each uncertain hour.
I know I can endure for as I kneel in prayer
He enfolds me in the warmth of heaven’s power
Yet others weep for grief that knows no peace
Where is their hope but in the Master’s word?
What comfort will he send to heal the hearts of men?
Who will bear his love and light into the world?
“A city on a hill cannot be hid,
Let your light so shine,” the Savior said
(Repeat Chorus)
Like a candle in the darkness, like a fire upon the hearth
Like the star that led to Bethlehem, like sunrise o’er the earth
A city on a hill cannot be hid
“Let your light so shine,” the Savior said.
(Repeat Chorus)
