Deut. 6 : 23.
Out of the shadow the Lord hath brought me,
Out of the land of darkest night,
Out of the doubt that had gathered round me,
Out of the way that leads from light,
Out of the halting and fear He guided,
Out of the paths of human sin,
Out of the trembling and terror brought me,
Out of the world—to bring me in.
Into the presence of life and beauty,
Into the way of truth and life,
Into the highway of joyful duty,
Into the path all free from strife,
Into the knowledge of peace and freedom,
Into the hope that leads above,
Into the trusting that grasps the promise,
Into the life of God's own love.
