Light Finds the Way Lyrics


Lyrics: 16th century, unknown

Over the mountains, over the waves

Under the fountains, under the graves

Under floods that are so deepest which Neptune obey

Over rock that so steepest light finds the way

CHORUS:

There is no place for the glow worm to lie

There is no place for receipt of a fly

If Thou see Light, kneel and pray

Thou will find own way

You may train the eagle to stoop to your fist

You may inveigle the phoenix of the east

The lioness ye may move her to give o’er her prey

You’ll never stop the light He’ll find the way

CHORUS:

There is no place for the glow worm to lie

There is no place for receipt of a fly

If Thou see Light, kneel and pray

Thou will find own way

Over the mountains, over the waves

Under the fountains, under the graves

Under floods that are so deepest which Neptune obey

Over rock that so steepest light finds the way

CHORUS:

There is no place for the glow worm to lie

There is no place for receipt of a fly

If Thou see Light, kneel and pray

Thou will find own way
