SS&S Hymn #1117: Are we walking, daily

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

Are we walking, daily walking,
as the children of the light,
Casting off the works of darkness,
and the shadows of the night?
Have we left them for the sunshine
freely streaming from above,
For the clear and blessed sunshine
of the Saviour’s wondrous love?
Are we walk---ing in His sight ...
as the chil---dren of the light? . . .
In the precious blood of Jesus
have we made our garments white?
Are we marching on to glory
as the children of the light?

Are we walking, humbly walking,
as the children of the light,
In a world of pain and sorrow,
where the powers of sin unite?
Are we seeking souls that wander
in the dark and downward way?
Do we win them to the radiance of
the everlasting day?

Let our songs ring out in gladness,
as the children of the light,
Let the joy of His salvation make our
hearts and faces bright;
Then, oh then, will sinners listen to
the message that we bring,
And with us will follow Jesus to the
city of the King.
