so
Routley, Erik. Rejoice in the Lord: A Hymn Companion to the Scriptures. Grand Rapids, Mich: W.B. Eerdmans Pub. Co, 1985. Musical score
This line is one of many references to the bible that Milton used throughout Paradise Lost. When looking specifically at the word light, one can see Milton means it in two different ways. The literal meaning is God giving Earth the visible light with the Sun and the moon. The second meaning is God giving mankind wisdom, and allow them to encompass all their surroundings. When thinking of the phrase "show me the light", one can see God wanting to give mankind knowledge, allowing them to be independent from their sole creator.
