God has called us out of darkness

To the wonder of his light.

See your dignity, O Christian,

Rescued from eternal night.

See the glory of your calling,

Brothers, sisters of the Lord,

Calling God himself your Father

Through the love he has outpoured.

From the moment that he forms us

In the womb, until we die

We are his eternal children

With a destiny on high.

May we live by this great vision,

May we share this gift of sight,

May we serve beyond the darkness

All who hunger for the light.

Turn away from all corruption

Be a sign before the world

Of the love the Father shows us

In his gentle mighty Word.

Be the light upon the lampstand,

Be the city on the hill.

Be the men and women toiling,

Seeking but the Father’s will.

Father, hear your children call you

In the name of Christ your Son;

Send the Spirit whom he promised

That in him we may be one.

Then the world will come to know you

In the Son who came and died,

For your love will be reflected

In the mirror of our lives.
