Candles of Light
by Elsie Jones
Candles of Light, traveling by twos,
Visiting each house, chasing the blues.
Teaching the Gospel, spreading their light,
Shining examples of lives that are right.
Unselfishness and kindness kindle the flame.
Friendship's the wax that cradles the same.
The Gospel's the wick that runs its way through,
Leaving it's message, old yet new.
Candles of Light traveling this way,
Can lighten the load of a dreary day,
Or cast the shadows from the darkest night,
And make all earth seem more bright.
Yes, the Visiting Teachers are candles of light,
Spreading their rays o'er all in their sight.
Ray of smiles and hope and cheer,
May they shine eternally, year after year.
