A beacon is shining ‘Cross the cosmos, it’s guiding Igniting the pathway for us Through the winter of our lives A faithful polestar arises Within every heart The courage to advance Passed our plight at this stage is The light of the ages When troubles lay me low As fierce winds blow Turn my gaze beyond To ride the inbound stream There grace and mercy shine And fear is a dream Sorrow’s a dream When darkness holds me down And trials abound Lift my gaze within I’ll heed the primal sound Exposing the grand scheme I can see it’s a dream Sorrow’s a dream And a beacon is shining ‘Cross the cosmos, it’s guiding Igniting the pathway for us Through the winter of our lives A faithful polestar arises Within every heart The courage to advance Passed our plight at this stage is The light of the ages I will follow the all knowing Ever glowing light Through my soul’s long dark night When darkness holds me down And trials abound Lift my gaze within I’ll heed the primal sound Exposing the grand scheme I can see it’s a dream And a beacon is shining ‘Cross the cosmos, it’s guiding Igniting the pathway for us Through the winter of our lives A faithful polestar arises Within every mind The power to transcend To perceive passed thought cages The light of the ages The light of the ages I will follow The light of the ages Through my soul’s long dark night
