Refrain: Lumen Christi, Light of Christ.

Lumen Christi, Light of Life.
Lumen Christi, Light of Peace.

We gather as one in your name, to hear your word of life proclaimed.
We gather as one for the feast united as one in the Light of Christ.

Gathered as one we ask forgiveness, in mercy and love we seek compassion.
Gathered as one we thirst for justice, united as one in the Light of Christ.

Bathed in the cleansing water.  Bathed in the Light of Christ.
Father, Son and Holy Spirit now and forever in the Light of Christ.

We witness to the world, we your people, your word and peace in the world.
We witness to the world, fed and nourished to live and love in the Light of Christ.

We go now blessed and forgiven; sent forth with hearts of compassion.
We go to bring the world your justice, to live and love in the Light of Christ.
