Light in God’s Light. Ps. 36. 9; Isa. 60. 19

1 In darkness born, I went astray,
  And wandered from the gospel way;
  And since the Saviour gave me sight,
  I cannot see without his light.

2 So poor, and blind, and lame I am,
  My all is bound up in the Lamb;
  And blessèd am I when I see
  My spirit’s inmost poverty.

3 I cannot walk without his might,
  I cannot see without his light;
  I can have no access to God,
  But through the merits of his blood.

4 It makes me feel my ruined state,
  It lays my soul at mercy’s gate;
  And Jesus smiles at such a guest;
  And cheers him with a heavenly feast.
