GOD THE ONLY TRUE TEACHER by JOHN BYROM

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE LORD IS MY LIGHT; BY HIS TEACHING I LEARN
Last Line: THAT CAN GIVE ME INSTRUCTION, AND MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN.
Subject(s): GOD; LEARNING; TEACHING & TEACHERS; EDUCATORS; PROFESSORS;
THE Lord is my light; by his teaching I learn,
With a right understanding, his works to discern:
While I dwell in his presence 'tis then that I live,
And enjoy a content which he only can give:
In all other things I have labour'd to find
That truth which might fill an intelligent mind;
But I labour'd in vain, for it is He alone
That can give me instruction, and make himself known.
