Light Up the Darkness #582

      
    LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS  582

    "With God's help," wrote Marilynn Mabee.
    "We can light up the darkness."

    O Lord
    Give unto us
    A powerful lamp
    To light up the darkness
    That those whom we meet
    Might savor life
    And find it sweet
    And find in every moment
    The joy of living
    Of giving and forgiving
    Of striving and gaining
    That which is eternal
    And everlasting
    Help us to be part
    Of the Light
    When and where
​    We can
