Analysis of The Light Within
Come Light,
and set the fire within,
the flame of luminous place,
let man, God's vision chase
in life-winning race.
Come Life,
undo old, stagnant thought,
bring forth fresh flow
and resurrect the soul.
Come Truth,
and set the captive free,
unloose his binding chain,
raise high the torch that lights the way
to freedom-- in Christ's name.
