"What glory gilds the sacred page!
Majestic like the sun!
It gives a light to every age;
It gives but borrows none."
"The power that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat;
Its truth upon the nations rise;
They rise but never set!"
In the beginning was the Word. Christ is the Word. It giveth light. Read His power in the Gospel. Notice the connection between natural light and spiritual faith in Christ.
"And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed Christ. And behold two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David. And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace; but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us thou son of David. And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you? They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. And Jesus being moved with compassion touched their eyes, and straightway they received their sight and followed him."
