Jeremiah 8:22. "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has not the health of the daughter of my people been restored?"And from Firesign Theatre's Powerhouse Church of the Presumptuous Assumption of the Blinding Light a hymn:

Oh Light that blinds,
I cannot see.
Look out for me."
