Shine for the ones who dwell in the dark, with comfort and justice. You are the light, the light of the world. Let God’s light shine in you. Let your light shine so that others may see, and glorify God. When you belong to God you are light, no longer held in the dark night. Live what is loving and true, my friends, as children of light. “This is the fast that I choose,” says our God, “to loosen the bonds of injustice. For then your light shall break forth like the dawn, rising in the darkness.” God said, “Let light shine out of the dark,” and shines with that glory in Jesus. And when we turn our faces to Christ, God shines in our own heart. Those who do justice are light in the dark, light for the wandering, the poor. Those who are generous shall not be moved, forever more. “This is the fast that I choose,” says our God, “to loosen the bonds of injustice. For then your light shall break forth like the dawn, rising in the darkness.” Christ, you appeared on the mountain top, shining with radiant glory. You are God’s Son, the light of the world, and we will tell your story. -

Lyrics: Savior, in our longing darkness, waiting in our deepest night, come and grace our hunger and yearnings; for we live by hope, not sight. Christ, we long for you. Come bless us. Help us all to walk in the light.
Savior, in our lonely darkness come to us who inwardly mourn. Raise the love that lies a captive; mend the cloth that has been torn. Come to us, O God, with holy love: wake us with the light of morn.
Savior, in our wounded darkness, shadowed by our evil ways, fear and anger and injustice, violence that shutters our praise, come, O Christ, and heal our broken lives with love's gentle, dawning rays.
Savior, in this deepening darkness, how we long to see your face! Yet you move, unseen among us with your mercy and your grace. Give us eyes of faith to see you, hidden in each time and place.
Savior, in this holy darkness, no one sees the flight of the dove. No one hears the song of the angels. Yet there shines a lone star above. Grant this joy, to know your presence here. Come and fill our hearts with your love. -

Lyrics: The night is long; the darkness deep; our childish dreams long gone. We lie awake with hearts that ache for warmth and light of dawn. We long to trust the promise the prophets have foretold: we look for signs of your designs for what the future holds.
In our unknowing and our doubt, O Christ, you speak your Word: to stay awake and watch and wait for signs unseen, unheard. Yet in our very longing, your Spirit cries for home: for you are near, and hidden here, and yet are still to come.
And so in silent stillness now we watch, and as we do your grace imparts into our hearts the gifts we seek in you. Our openness transforms us: for now your grace is clear, that we may shine and be a sign that Christ is drawing near. -
