O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
--George Matheson.
Follow your Star that lights a desert pathway, yours or mine,
Forward, till you learn the highest Human Nature is divine.
Follow Light and do the Right--for man can half control his doom--
Till you see the deathless Angel seated in the vacant Tomb.
--Alfred Tennyson.
My soul waiteth for the Lord,
More than watchmen wait for the morning;
Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.
--Psalm 130. 6.
Almighty God, help me to kindle my life by the shining light of thy
power and love, that I may be an ambassador for thee. Amen.
