26. One Light from Many Lamps

  1.
  Mine eyes have seen the colors of a thousand glowing lamps.
  Like rainbows in the darkness they dispel the chilly damp.
  Though beautiful each casts long shadows from its tiny camp.
  Each light comes shining through.

  Refrain:
  Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
  Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Each light comes shining through.

  2.
  Oft I have seen your lovely light that shines beside my own,
  amid the many flowers from the ancient seeds you’ve sown.
  We'll make a better world than the one we all have known.
  Its light comes shining through.

  Refrain:
  Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
  Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Its light comes shining through.

  3.
  What's writ in love and carved in hope: I read your wondrous
  lines.
  They're treasures all, and true. I smiling want to give you mine.
  Such different words and stories new, but see the tie that
  binds.
  Our light comes shining through.

  Refrain:
  Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
  Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our light comes shining through.

  Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
  Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! One light from many lamps.
