Acts 13:47: I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles

True Light of mankind,
Shine into the mind
Of poor heathens like me,
And open our eyes Thine appearing to see.
The obscurity chase
Which involves our whole race,
Till Thou bid it depart,
And the blindness remove from the infidel heart.

When Thy mercy appears
It disperses our fears,
Blots out the thick cloud,
And shows us the face of a pacified God;
By the heavenly ray,
We discover our way,
By the Spirit of love
We are led to the house of our Father above.
