Scored for SAB choir, keyboard, and guitar, this lovely tune aptly illustrates the warmth of God’s light upon us. Taking lyric inspiration—and indeed the entire first verse—from Charles Wesley’s hymn “Christ, whose glory fills the skies,” Hart’s original second and third verses expand upon the themes of mercy, longing for God, and Christian life. The mostly diatonic harmonic language conveys a sense of peace and comfort to match the text’s description of God’s guiding light.
