BASIC 1

OPENER

Circle Left

I wandered so aimless life filled with sin

I wouldn't let my dear saviour in

Men Star Right one time along

Left Allemande, Weave around that Ring

I saw the light I saw the light

Swing your girl, Promenade all right

Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight

Hallelujah I saw the light.

FIGURE

Heads Square Thru 4 hands,

Yeah, make a Right Hand Star

Heads Star Left in the middle of the ring you know

Meet the outside two and a Right and Left Thru

Dive Thru, Square Thru 3 hands around

Swing the Corner girl, Promenade on down

* Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight

Hallelujah I saw the light.

ALTERNATE LYRICS

No more in darkness, no more in night

Hallelujah I saw the light.

ORIGINAL LYRICS

I wandered so aimless life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear saviour in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord I saw the light.

I saw the light I saw the light
No more darkness no more night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light.

Just like a blind man I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light.

I saw the light I saw the light
No more darkness no more night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light.

I was a fool to wander and a-stray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord I saw the light.

I saw the light I saw the light
No more darkness no more night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light.
