Roy Acuff — The Great Shining Light

Oh come hear my story it will brighten your way On love's weary travel oh hear whet I say Last night I was dreaming when an angel obliged Came to me in a vision of a great shining light Then the angel spoke softly as the great light did shine Go tell all the people that now is the time To all peace and be happy there shall be no night If you live true and be faithful in the great shining light In my dream then I travelled a rough stoney road 'T Was the way to perdition and happy my Lord When a sweet voice spoke softly take a turn to the right You'll find it more cheerful in the great shining light I woke from my dreaming and started to pray Thou will now shall guide me on lost rugged way I'll tell all the people of the truth and [?] Oh angel of mercy in the great shining light
