"God is light, and in him is no darkness at all" — light is the Bible's favorite metaphor for God's presence, and it runs from Genesis 1:3 to Revelation 22:5 with no night there. The fifteen verses below are the Bible's direct address to that situation, shown in full KJV text from Psalms 36:9 to 1 John 1:5.
Quick answer: The best-known verse about light here is Psalms 36:9: "For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light." Psalms 43:3 follows close behind: "O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles."
