CHILDREN OF LIGHT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Walk in the light! So shalt thou know
Last Line: And god himself is light.
Alternate Author Name(s): Quaker Poet
Subject(s): God


Walk in the light: so shalt thou know
That fellowship of love
His spirit only can bestow,
Who reigns in light above.

Walk in the light: and sin abhorred
Shall ne'er defile again;
The blood of Jesus Christ thy Lord
Shall cleanse from every stain.

Walk in the light: and thou shalt find
Thy heart made truly His
Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined,
In whom no darkness is.

Walk in the light: and thou shalt own
Thy darkness passed away,
Because that Light hath on thee shone
In which is perfect day.

Walk in the light: and e'en the tomb
No fearful shade shall wear;
Glory shall chase away its gloom,
For Christ hath conquered there.

Walk in the light: and thine shall be
A path, though thorny, bright;
For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee,
And God Himself is light.
