Light.

By Sarah J. Thayer

Light is for the righteous sown; In our path it will be springing, If, as journeying to our home, W'ere ever found to Jesus clinging: If meek and lowly at his feet, We only wait to do his will, Though called to pass through waters deep, Light shall arise upon us still.
Light is for the righteous sown; Lonely pilgrim—cease thy weeping— God will not forsake his own; Those who are his precepts keeping; Though the world with blinded eyes, Stumbling, fall in darkest night; Faithful ones—the Sun shall rise— In your dwellings shall be light.
Light is for the righteous sown; Light of present truth! how cheering; Darkness has before it flown, Like the dew, at sun's appearing; Oh, while onward still we go, Meekly, in the way of right; Brighten will our pathway grow, Until dawns eternal light.
