“THIS THEN IS THE MESSAGE......THAT GOD IS LIGHT, AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL..”
1 John i. 5.
Oh for the spirit of a child,—
A heart entirely reconciled
To Thee and to Thy will,
Most blessed God! and, springing thence,
A loving, steadfast confidence,
All restless thoughts to still.
A heart entirely reconciled
To Thee and to Thy will,
Most blessed God! and, springing thence,
A loving, steadfast confidence,
All restless thoughts to still.
And can a doubt this truth obscure,—
That God is light from darkness pure,
Love joined with power supreme?
Where, then, could hope or reason rest?
But in this knowledge I am blest.
To doubt were to blaspheme.
That God is light from darkness pure,
Love joined with power supreme?
Where, then, could hope or reason rest?
But in this knowledge I am blest.
To doubt were to blaspheme.
This faith of love, O God, impart,
That I may joy in all Thou art,
And all Thou art adore.
So shall this be my constant song:
God is, and I to God belong,
My God for evermore.
That I may joy in all Thou art,
And all Thou art adore.
So shall this be my constant song:
God is, and I to God belong,
My God for evermore.
