The Light of Life

By Iva A. Clute

IVA A. CLUTE
“I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12.
We may know that He is coming; We may analyze earth’s strife; They who follow have not darkness, But shall have the light of life.
Others may grope on in blindness, Knowing not the Day-star bright Long since started its ascension, Shedding o’er the world its light.
Ignorance and superstition Mark this age of unbelief; And the Saviour, at his coming, To the world will be a thief;
Coming when they least expect him, While they “Peace and safety” cry, Piling up their earthly treasures For the crisis now so nigh.
To the faithful few who know Him, Paul says, “It need not be true That as to the world surrounding That bright day should be to you.
“Ye walk not in worldly darkness.” O’er the earth the heralds sing. We may list to hear the message, “Christ, no longer Priest, but King.”
