Out of dark­ness thro’ mar­vel­ous grace,
To the light of His re­con­ciled face;
He for­gave all my sin,
Giving new life with­in,
And He led me from dark­ness to light.

Refrain

Out of dark­ness to glo­ri­ous light,
Oh, the bliss, oh, the joy and de­light!
Praise the Lord, O my soul,
For He mak­eth me whole,
And for dark­ness gives glo­ri­ous light.

Out of doubt­ing, and fear, and des­pair,
Into rest, leav­ing all to His care;
Then He lead­eth my soul,
Tho’ dark bil­lows may roll,
Out of dark­ness to glo­ri­ous light.

Refrain

Out of er­ror, and ang­uish, and loss,
Into joy, and the gain of the cross;
In its bright stream­ing ray,
He is guid­ing my way,
Out of dark­ness to glo­ri­ous light.

Refrain

And some day, pre­cious pro­mise of love,
He is com­ing in clouds from ab­ove;
And He’ll ga­ther His own,
His re­deemed round the throne,
Out of dark­ness to glo­ri­ous light.
