Come, Light

To the tune NON DIGNUS (“O Lord, I Am Not Worthy”):

Come, Light; dispel our darkness
and drive our gloom away.
Shine on the brokenhearted
and bring us into day.

Speak, Word, into our silence
and let the echoes ring.
Still all cries of violence
and teach our hearts to sing.

As grace on grace come fill us,
unfailing stream that flows
from God's eternal stillness:
Come, overflow our souls.

God's only Son, begotten
before the deeps of time,
come claim all we've forgotten
and bring them into life.

Come, wellspring of creation:
Your wonders wait for you.
Come with their restoration—
oh, come; make all things new!

And in the endless dawning
of your now-breaking day
rise in our hearts as morning,
and ever shining stay.
