O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in thy sunshine's blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. —George Matheson.
Follow your Star that lights a desert pathway, yours or mine, Forward, till you learn the highest Human Nature is divine. Follow Light and do the Right—for man can half control his doom— Till you see the deathless Angel seated in the vacant Tomb. —Alfred Tennyson.
My soul waiteth for the Lord, More than watchmen wait for the morning; Yea, more than watchmen for the morning. —Psalm 130. 6.
Almighty God, help me to kindle my life by the shining light of thy power and love, that I may be an ambassador for thee. Amen.
