Ways that are dark are not His ways
Who reigns in light and fills our days
With radiance; whose uplifted arm
Offers deliverance from harm,
From every ill that flesh conceives;
Who heals the heart while yet it grieves,
Moving, a pillar of fire by night,
Of cloud by day, exceeding bright
O'er Israel, till she shall stand
Securely, in the promised land.
Ways that are dark are not His ways
Who gives us light and length of days.
