l am the light of the world, he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12. Therefore, walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you, for he that walks in darkness, knows not whither he goes. John 12:35.

He that is faithful keeping ever close to Christ, and his light, strictly watching and obeying the motions of his spirit, will be evermore tender in conscience, and receive so much more light; consequently, he will be from time to time, more deeply rooted in repentance, faith, and assurance, so as either to be preserved from many combats and disorders, or at least be carried sooner through the same. He may meet with dark valleys, (nature being as it were, a great, dark abyss, and grace sometimes as a small span,) yet by degrees it will blaze, and at last break through, and enlighten all our darkness.

Is he a star? he breaks the night,
Piercing the shades with dawning light:
I know his glories from afar,
I know the bright, the morning star.

Is he a sun? his beams are grace,
His course, his joys and righteousness:
Nations rejoice when he appears,
To chase their clouds and dry their tears.

Nor earth, nor seas, nor sun, nor stars,
Nor heaven his full resemblance bears:
His beauties we can never trace,
Till we behold him face to face.

O let me climb those higher skies,
Where storms and darkness never rise!
There he displays his powers abroad,
And shines and reigns the incarnate God.
