FAITH IS A BLESSED CANDLE LIGHT
In dark of night,
Illuminating earth's dim way
With steady ray.

Faith has the power to make me strong
Life's whole day long;
And I can walk my little space
With better grace.

Faith is a joy I cannot see
That comforts me—
I do not need a human sign
For things divine.

Faith is a flame within my heart,
A living part—
Its upward lift brings soul-release
And quiet peace.
