O radient light, O sun divine!

Of God the Father's deathless face!

Who from the first moment of Creation

Rose up in splendor that all things might

Reveal and reflect your truth, your beauty,

Your majesty and your power.

Protect me from ego, pride and ignorance 

That I might never again walk in darkness.

But let the glory of your resurrection 

Dispel all evil and error in my mind.

O morning star of love and grace

Light the way I should go and

Bring me into fuller communion

With your saints and angels.

O Son of God and source of life!

May my life be a mirror of your love

To everyone I meet, that even in

The darkest valley of death and despair 

Your Cross might conquer all sin

Heal all wounds and raise us all

To that kingdom where you live and reign

With the Father and Holy Spirit, 

God, for ever and ever. 

Amen
