A Mirror for Your Lamp

Lord, let me be a mirror for Your lamp
That I may You reflect to all the world,
So all may ‘round Your holy light encamp
As You dispel the gloom around earth swirls.

May virtue, knowledge from You through me shine
As I take my place in Your Church on earth,
She brings to us Your Blood in Your new wine
That we may die and rise in Your new birth.

For You enlighten everyone who’s born,
Though we are clouded in the dark of sin,
And Your light comes to lift us, once forlorn–
Enlightens image that has always been.

Your holiness from mirror here reflects
And joins together this life and the next.
