I thank you, light,
that you turn but do not depart,
that you wane but never fail,
that you go forth, and you return.
Thank you, sun, for your steadfastness
even as we tilt and turn
Thank you, earth,
that you allow us rest and darkness,
and you offer us light and warmth.
Thank you, darkness,
that you hide and shelter us,
that you guard mysteries
and frame the stars,
and that in trust and humility
you defer to the light.
Thank you, light and dark,
night and day, that you work
so beautifully together,
wedding seen and unseen,
human and divine,
sought and given.
Thank you, God,
that it is in darkness that the light shines.
