A glory dawns in every dark place, the light of Christ, the fullness of grace.

A glory dawns in every dark place, the light of Christ, the fullness of grace.
The light is increasing and spring’s in the air. Look back with thanksgiving! Look forward with awe!
A glory dawns in every dark place, the light of Christ, the fullness of grace.
The candles invite us to praise and to pray when Christmas greets Easter on Candlemas Day.
A glory dawns in every dark place, the light of Christ, the fullness of grace.
A glory dawns in every dark place, the light of Christ, the fullness of grace.
