to the tune of
“O Little Town of Bethlehem”
"O
Holy Darkness, loving Womb,
who
nurtures and creates,
sustain us through the longest night
sustain us through the longest night
with
dreams of open gates.
We move inside to mystery
We move inside to mystery
that
in our center dwells,
where streams of richest beauty flow
where streams of richest beauty flow
from
sacred, living wells.
Creative Darkness, closest Friend,
Creative Darkness, closest Friend,
you
whisper in the night;
you calm our fears as unknown paths
you calm our fears as unknown paths
surprise us with new sight.
We marvel at your bounty,
We marvel at your bounty,
your
gifts so full and free,
unfolding as you waken us
unfolding as you waken us
to new
reality.
O Holy Night of deepest bliss,
O Holy Night of deepest bliss,
we
celebrate your power;
infuse us with your energy
infuse us with your energy
that
brings our seeds to flower.
The voice out of the darkness
The voice out of the darkness
excites our warmest zeal
to bring together dark and light,
to bring together dark and light,
true
holiness reveal.
O come to us, Sophia;
O come to us, Sophia;
your
image, black and fair,
stirs us to end injustice and
stirs us to end injustice and
the
wounds of earth repair.
The treasures of your darkness
The treasures of your darkness
and
riches of your grace
inspire us to fulfill our call,
inspire us to fulfill our call,
our
sacredness embrace."
