Laughter in the Light

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.... Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage forever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart" (Psalm 119:105,111). "The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out" (Proverbs 13:9).

Rejoice, beloved, on the path
That God lights with His Word!
Jesus saves us from the wrath
That He, for joy, endured.

That joy ahead He kept in mind,
So He endured the shame.
And since His light for us has shined,
We ought to do the same.
