Shine the Heavenly Light [HL:153443]

Combining two traditional spirituals, the first, “Is a Light Shining From Heaven,” is in a minor key and the second, “Hold Out Your Light,” is in a major key. While the first spiritual speaks of the external light as a symbol of hope coming from the heavens, it is the second spiritual that helps us to look toward the light within as a source for strength and perseverance.
