DIVINE LIGHT

DIVINE LIGHT


When life is itself a pain,
When the peace of mind is slain;

When, to breathe, is punishment,
Each heart beat, reminiscent

Of the gnawing grief inside;
When one just cannot abide

By that doctrine of ‘Love all’
Since the world is full of gall;

When all happiness is lost,
When the mind is in a frost;

When I am broken within
Then I surrender to Him.

And, then, in the darkness cold,
A ray of light I behold;

Coming from Him to my heart,
Telling me never to part

With hope, love and tolerance,
Faith in his benevolence.

And, then, all my grief is gone,
After the light He has shone.
