My Burden is Light

Come to us, Father, with gifts of new vision,
Come at the end of each night
Bring to your children who wait in the darkness
The vision, the burden of light.
The burden of seeing that all have been given
The dignity shared by your Son,
The knowledge that all should behave as the people
In whom your own life has begun.
