Thy Word Is a Light

KATHRINE SCOBEY PUTNAM

The day began all gray, with clouds about
Us everywhere. Then soft, warm showers fell
Upon the thirsting earth, till ev'ry dell
Had water stored to put to flight the drought.
Came then the April sun resplendent out,
Its cheering, vivifying word to tell
To birds and flow'rs and all on earth that dwell,
Till skies, clear blue, put dark and gray to rout.
My day began all gray with doubts and fears;
But when I turned, O Love, in prayer to Thee,
Still was my aching heart and dried my tears,
And in Thy Word, all I sought longingly.
My sun it is, and darkest skies it clears;
Calm hope it brings, and sweet humility.
