Gerhard and Walther

Make Yourself known to my soul, O You eternal Light. Let me receive Your kindness and sweetness, O You eternal Love. Speak to my soul, O You heavenly teacher!—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis III:64.

Although the variety of sins is great and sad, from careless and vain thoughts to the obstinate hardness of Pharaoh and Judas, each demonstrates an uprising of our heart against God, the Father of light.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 442.
