Let candles burn, both warm and bright, Which to our darkness Thou has brought, When we are wrapped in silence most profound, May we hear that song most fully raised From all the Unseen World that lies around And Thou art by all Thy children praised.
Night and morning, You are by us faithfully And surely at each newborn day.
Rather than relying on a thin, idealized hope that we will all one day just get along, we can approach conflict resolution as an art form that we are privileged to develop and hone.
