Search ye through our earthly realms For future ties and bonds? Why cry with bitter tearful eyes For idols long since gone? What find ye in the darkest caves In shafts of darkened thoughts Where fears of death and earthly work Become your only lot? And as the caves of human minds With sad thoughts overwhelm Gently comes the Saviour's Love Creator of this realm And with his lamplight on the walls The shadows are displaced No more the fears of darkened years Our minds do penetrate A light of Everlasting Laws Eternal, sweet and strong Daily shines into our thoughts Transforming right from wrong And as we learn to trust his Light In daily paths we tread We leave the world of shadowed dreams For "God with us" instead When we leave the world of dreams Like Angel's rising thoughts Glimpses of Divinity and Holiness are caught Caverns full of blackened coal No more dark and cruel Are stars upon infinite skies As sparkling shining jewels
