No glimpse of light can mankind see
In great despair they moan and weep
Who will arise and set us free?
A people blind in heart and mind
Stumbling as they seek their way
Hoping an escape to find
Out to the blessed dawn of day
Into a sin-black world streams light
Piercing shadows with bright beams
Clear morning edges out the night
With shining rays and golden gleams
Scales excised from sightless eyes
As holy radiance grows and glows
In its strength destroying lies
While truth and right it clearly shows
Flowing out through all vast space
Free to one and all the same
Reaching my own time and place
Igniting my heart with its flame
Lord Jesus is our heavenly light
A lamp for sore and trembling feet
Putting sin and shame to flight
Pledge of eternity so sweet
Hosannas now we shout and sing
Glory to the spotless Lamb
Lord of Lords and King of Kings
Morning Star and Great I Am

How lucky we are for this truth as well as for writers who can so poeticaly express this enlightening news.
I'm not sure about the line "A lamp for sore and trembling feet." Do sore feet need a lamp?
Consider finding someone to set this to music; it'd make a lovely chorus.
Keep up the good work!
