Dwelling in Light

MARIAN J. COBB

Where Egypt's proud, heart-hardened king held sway,
Refusing to accede to God's demand,
It is recorded that thick darkness lay
Full three days' space, enveloping the land;
On all the sons of Egypt blackness fell,
But Israel, God's chosen, felt no night,
Nor any plague—for as the Scriptures tell,
Within their dwelling places there was light!

Christians today, who understand God's law,
Keep in your hearts the torch of faith aglow,
Until men see what Egypt's sons once saw,
Light in your dwelling, in the midst of woe;
Let the effulgence of your inspiration
Brighten the world with its illumination.
