Poems

LIGHT TO THE WORLD IS GIVEN

Verses set to the music of Summervell's " Shepherd's Cradle Song."

From the June 1898 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Light to the world is given,
Light from the God of Heaven;
The light of life now shines abroad,
Man now may truly walk with God;
Light to the world is given.

Hope to the world is given,
Hope from the God of Heaven;
All fear and doubt are swept away,
And sin and death no more hold sway;
Hope to the world is given.

Seek we the Heav'nly Light!
Why dwell in error's night?
The truth by clouds of sense concealed,
Is now to a suff'ring world revealed.
Why dwell in error's night?

Peace to the world is given,
Peace from the God of Heaven;
Now may we know Christ's promise true
"My peace I give unto you;"
Peace to the world is given.
