Debtors in Darkness

"The dark places of earth are full of the habitations of cruelty" (Psalm 75:20). "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble" (Proverbs 4:18,19).

Do you walk on path of light?
Thank God your salvation is sure!
Yet look to the poor sinners' plight,
And the cruel darkness that they endure.

Ahead is the sweet by and by
For all who partake of salvation.
But what of the lost when they die,
And the horrors of their condemnation?

Shine in this darkness so cruel!
Be grateful, but also be humble.
But for God's grace toward the fool,
We likewise in darkness would stumble.
