Welcome, welcome
the returning of the light
While winter’s grip still holds
we see the promise of spring
As I watch the cold snow from my window
I can almost see the Robin searching among the crocus
The Creator gave us the dark to rest
but I am eager for the light
Come, light a candle of hope
Come, light the fires of love
Come O light of new birth
Come O light of the promise
Come, O Creator with your blessing of light.
Come, see the blessed light
