Light in Darkness

For you are my lamp, Yahweh. Yahweh will light up my darkness. (2 Samuel
22:29). (WEB)

Am I in the light? Then Thou, O Yahweh, art my lamp. Take Thee away and my joy
would be gone; but as long as Thou art with me, I can do without the torches of
time and the candles of created comfort. What a light the presence of God casts
on all things! We heard of a lighthouse which could be seen for twenty miles,
but Yahweh is not only a God at hand, but far off is He seen, even in the
enemy's country. O Yahweh, I am as happy as an angel when Thy love fills my
heart. Thou art all my desire.

Am I in the dark? Then thou, O Yahweh, wilt lighten my darkness. Before long
things will change. Affairs may grow more and more dreary and cloud may be
piled upon cloud; but if it grow so dark that I cannot see my own hand, still I
shall see the hand of Yahweh. When I cannot find a light within me, or among my
friends, or in the whole world, Yahweh, who said, "Let there be light," and
there was light, can say the same again. He will speak me into the sunshine
yet. I shall not die but live. The day is already breaking. This sweet text
shines like a morning star. I shall clap my hands for joy ere many hours are
passed.

690 8.8.6. J. BERRIDGE
"A remnant shall be saved." Rom. 9. 27; 11. 4, 5

1 On wings of love the Saviour flies, And freely left his native skies,
To take a human birth;
The wise and righteous men go near, His wonders see, his sermons hear,
And think him nothing worth.

2 A remnant small of humble souls
His grace mysteriously controls
By sweet alluring call;
They hear it, and his person view,
They learn to love and follow too,
And take him for their all.

3 One of this remnant I would be,
A soul devoted unto thee,
AllurŠd by thy voice;
No more on gaudy idols gaze,
No longer tinsel grandeur praise,
But fix on thee my choice.

4 Thou knowest well my secret smart, And readest all my aching heart,
And hearest every sigh;
Can any creature give me rest,
Or any blessing make me blest,
Unless Yahweh is nigh?

5 While walking on the gospel-way,
I would see Jesus every day,
And see in all his grace;
See him my Prophet, Priest, and King; See him by faith, and praises sing; Then
see him face to face.
