Light of the world
Christ whose glory fills the skies,
Christ the true, the only light,
Sun of righteousness arise,
Triumph o’er the shades of night:
Dayspring from on high, be near:
Daystar, on my heart appear.
Contemplate each line of Charles Wesley’s hymn; learn it by heart;
say it morning, noon and night until it instils its wisdom within your very being.
Then join with Simeon as Christ is with you and your eyes see Our Lord’s salvation.
“for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
a light for revelation to the Gentile and for glory to your people Israel.”
Luke 2: 30-32
The Mothers Union in Ringmer, Sussex, UK has provided a light for young single mothers in
Rwanda, who had been abandoned by their families. The Light of Christ shone in
members’ heart when they a of the mothers’ plight.
Treadle sewing machines (90 UK pounds each) would enable the mothers
to make and sell goods and be able to feed their children (and themselves).
The Light of Christ was glowing in Ringmer as news
of the project and a coffee morning on its behalf raised 2,000 UK pounds!!!
Praise the Daystar.
