What is dark to us is not even dark to You, O Lord.
That which is brightened by your Light ushers You in.
Dark is dispelled from us. Your Presence--Light occupying the seized.
Basking, here is the new creation you’ve made of your shining saints.
Change undeniable! This knowledge, surrounded by grace!
The wind of your fresh newness, like breath to lungs, like faith.
Your light is our confidence, in it all else defined.
Aiding us, yet beyond our understanding, a lexicon of hope installs itself,
springing from the culture of the catechumenate*
blown unto primitive brows** at Pentecost.
