Johnny Cash sang this in a Columbo episode, many years ago. Here we have it sung by Josh Turner.
Requested by one of my chess buddies from Chessgames.com, “Ohio Chess Fan.”

By Request. ‘I Saw the Light’
We have a hymn request from Ina–I Saw the Light, a classic country hymn, sung by Johnny Cash. In a Columbo episode, no less.
The hymn shop is open to all. Don’t be bashful! Share your favorite hymns.
By Request, ‘I Saw the Light’
We have an entry in our hymn contest–requested by Ina (in Scotland!), I Saw the Light, sung by Johnny Cash. This video was originally part of a Columbo episode.
We still have had only one hymn get as many as 20 views; I can’t imagine why our hymn contest has fallen on such hard times. To enter, all you have to do is request a hymn. But only a rew people do that.
Well, it’s all over on Aug. 8…
Bonus Hymn: ‘I Saw the Light’
Oh, yeah, we need our hymns just now!
Johnny Cash performed this rendition of I Saw the Light as part of a “Columbo” episode–and this is a hymn that’ll stay with you for a while.
Pray for our country and trust in the Lord, whose hand is on the wheel of history and who never sleeps. Trust in the Lord and trust in the light that he provides us.
And sing louder.
Johnny Cash, ‘I Saw the Light’
This is from a 1974 Columbo episode called “Swan Song,” guest starring Johnny Cash. Actually it’s a Johnny Cash gospel song from 1966, I Saw the Light–and the lyrics are spot on. The backup is a little overproduced for my taste, but it’s a catchy tune with Johnny Cash’s voice and, most importantly, a solid Christian message.
Hank Williams: ‘I Saw the Light’
Running late today, but never mind. And I hope you don’t mind letting a Hank Williams song do the honors today: I Saw the Light, from 1948. Oops, that’s old.
I can’t believe God isn’t pleased when our otherwise thoughtless popular culture turns around to praise Him. Poor Williams, a victim of incurable chronic back pain, died in 1953 at the age of 29 from a heart attack brought on by prescription drugs and alcohol. But he had this song to give us first–inspired, he said, by a remark made by his mother on their way home from church.
