Joyful is the dark?

The ELCA is releasing a new hymnal supplement in November called "All Creation Sings." One of the new hymns is "Joyful Is the Dark." Who doesn't find joy in darkness? Let's look at the lyrics!


Heresy Alert: Who lurks in the darkness? It's not God. It's actually Satan. Who is hidden? It's not God. In fact, the Triune God is the Light and He is seen in His Word and His Sacraments. So, who is hidden? Satan. 


If anyone has ever walked in the dark with bare feet and stepped on a Lego, you would find that there is no joy in the darkness. 


This hymn is not as bad as "Earth Is Full of Wit and Wisdom," since I am having to look deeper into this hymn. But, as each stanza proclaims "Joyful is the dark," there is actually no joy in darkness. Darkness is actually the absence of God.


Instead of singing this hymn, I would recommend the hymn "I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light." This hymn proclaims the Triune God as the Light!


Jesus said: "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12)
