Let us light a candle

In a world where people walk in the darkness, 
let us turn our faces to the light,
to the light of God revealed in Jesus,
to the daystar scattering our night.

Refrain:
For the light is stronger than the darkness
and the day will overcome the night,
though the shadows linger all around us,
let us turn our faces to the light.


2
In a world where suff’ring of the helpless
cast a shadow all along the way,
let us bear the cross of Christ with gladness
and proclaim the dawning of the day.

Refrain:

3
Let us light a candle in the darkness,
In the face of death a sign of life:
As a sign of hope where all seemed hopeless,
as a sign of peace in place of strife.

Refrain:
