In the presence of light

Seen by all in light
Presence of the One
Merely shed thy sight
Shining presence won

Open to the new
Measures own reward
Softly to the view
Stirling like the sword

Offerings of love
Held in darkest hue
Never to betroth
To thy banished view

Till the light shines cold
All is dressed in haste
Coverings of gold
Empty and not chaste

Love and light renew
Every break of day
Behold the message true
In gold and shining ray

Every child of God
Holds His message dear
Courageous, brave and bold
Into the brand new year

Keep sight shining bright
Fill all cups anew
Dispel the darkest fright
God’s passage for the few

All are welcome in
Only those will choose
Ready for the win
Nothing left to lose

Stay this precious course
Firm in marriage strong
To the light within
All that’s blessed won
