Darkness! Fear lurks in the bosom's heart
Of shadows and darkness on a silent night.
No one here but loneliness.
Frustration of an empty soul.

A flicker of a candle would even part
This curtain of blindness to light.
No way out--nowhere to run.
What have I set as a rewarding goal?

A book of love on the table lay.
I'd seen it before, somewhere, I know.
Words cast thoughts upon my mind.
Flickers of my candle, increased the light.

I read the book without delay.
It revealed just why I felt so low.
No one a greater friend could find,
Than the Man I met this lonesome night.

LIGHT! No longer was I afraid,
As miraculous peace within me lay.
I closed my eyes and sincerely prayed,
"Jesus, thank you for light today."
