Dreadful Darkness

Read:  Psalm 112 / Proverbs 26 / Lamentations 4 / Col. 1 

 

Psalm 112:4 ~ Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious… full of compassion, and righteous.

Proverbs 26:2 ~ The curse causeless shall not come.

Lamentations 4:1 ~ How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed!

Colossians 1:12,13 ~ Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.

How dreadful the darkness is made

Without heaven’s light from above! 

How dim is the gold that will fade

In contrast to God’s faithful love!

 

How brightly the light of our Savior

Shined forth in His sorrowful hour,

Replacing our curse with His favor

And saving our souls with His power!
