Let In The Light
~ John Matthews

Welcome by whatever name or form it comes

Whether you name it he or she

Whether you call it unnameable

Whether it comes with joy or sorrow in hand

Welcome the light in whatever form,

Whether it be the Lord of Life

With stars upon his brow

And treasures in his hands,

Or if the Lady of the World

With all the children at her skirts,

And all the creatures in her train.

Whether you see or do not see

Let in the light.

Let it be part

Of every word,

Of every breath.

Joyfully let in the light

Welcome it in whatever name or form it takes.
