VERSES ON TEXTS: PSALMS 43, 4 by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: THY LIGHT AND TRUTH FORTH-SENDING
Last Line: IS ALL-DEFENDING.
Subject(s): TRUTH;

THY light and truth forth-sending
From Thy own radiant side,
Be Thou our Guard and Guide!
On Thee alone depending,
No darkness can affright;
Thy shield of Truth and Light,
Clear-flashing through the night,
Is all-defending.
