[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

What dangers when confusion reigns,
and argument concerning what
is good and right, rebellious claims
that hurt some in the disputes caught.
    So is there fundamental truth
    to guide us all – in age and youth?

The one who came, and all his ways
were perfect, kind, creating sight,
the Son of God the dead could raise,
but also was the Truth and Light,
    for he who made the stars from nought
    the wisdom that we all need taught.

He made mankind – now so rebellious.
He has not left us without guidance,
and also offers grace, forgiveness,
– and then we love His laws so righteous!
    His Light shows dangers well concealed,
    safe pathways, boundaries are revealed.

[Tune: 88 88 88 eg  ‘Solid Rock’  by William Bradbury (Tune of ‘My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus’ blood and righteousness’]

Very serious I suppose that's the idea, what about light?! Well of course you interpreted "light" rather as knowledge. The (refrains?) italics I like most.

The great German poet Goethe's last words, on his death bed were ”Mehr Licht!”, “More light!”

In the light is safety and guidance. All the best! Nolan &

Thanks. 'Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my patth.' Psalm 119:105 Jesus said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'  John 8:12

These days many want try and push other ways and often they and others get hurt by such experiments. Rhiannon
