Great ring of light, true circle with no ending; clear beam so bright, whose purpose knows no bending; O Word of God , in darkness always shining out. A man who cried, up on a cross at Calvary; for Him who died, an empty tomb, a mystery; O risen Christ, all pain and loss transcending. Immortal fire of love forever yearning; flame of desire for our salvation burning; Spirit divine, our friend, and present comforter. The light shines still, . the eternal Word has spoken; on Calvary's hill the power of death is broken; and I receive the life, the joy, the loving. Amen.
