:And cast the darkness to eternal damnation

:Ever this day, be at my side,
:To Light and guard, to rule and guide.

===Remembrance===

:Life of all creatures,
:Spirit of sanctity,
:Glow of charity,
:Light of clarity,
:Call to the fallen,
:Be with us and head us.

===Unity in the Light===

:Alike be our feelings,
:Unified be our hearts,
:Perfect be our unity.

==Long Prayers==

===Faith in the Light===

:Should darkness strive to shroud my mind,

:In the Light, its wisdom I will find,
:In the Light, darkness will be unmade.

:Should shadows strive to cover my sight,

:In the Light, no heart will be bent,
:In the Light, friends cause no hardship,

===Mourning the tragedy of war===

:Have I not seen in time the shadows growing around me?
:Chosen war that brought death as far as the eye can see?
:Is there glory left for the Light in this gruesome victory?
:Or is all that remains from these actions the hideous atrocity?

:I search relentlessly for the Virtues as our guide,
:Hoping the Light will reach for us and stay by our side.
:I pray we have not strayed from the Enlightened path,
:and deprived our lives from the glory they could have had.

:Had the Light not taught me the meaning of Tenacity,
:I would have lost faith and searched for it unwillingly,
:And not found it in my actions ever so desperately,
:Fighting these enemies that engaged us so mindlessly.

===Tenacity===

:In ourselves and all about,
:Light lives without a doubt,
:mends and prevents harm.
:It is grace in purest form
:Blessing all living beings,
:Guiding us in our doings,

:But through actions alone,
:The Light's will can be done.
:Following its ways so divine,
:We reach salvation in time,
:Cleansing the world anew,
:From the shadows so cruel.

:Great though Light may be,
:It works through souls like me,
:While devoted, I am but small,
:Perhaps too little to change all,
:Though Light makes spirits grow,
:The world is large, we all know

:But if I remain true to its ways,
:I may share its graceful rays,
:Work hard till all are blessed,
:Without doubt till my final rest,
:Even if its results I can not see,
:Such is the lesson of Tenacity

===Blessing of Water===

:Dear Light, be with us as we bless this water,

:We chose water for it brings and feeds life,
:We chose water for it blesses thirsty souls,
:We chose water for it cools heated harts,
:We chose water for it refreshes tired spirits.

:May your holy spirit live in this water,
:May your cleansing descend upon this water,
:May your wisdom flow in this water,
:May your enlightenment lighten this water,

:We require water to wash away the shadows,
:We require water to stay the darkness,
:We require water to guide lost souls,
:We require water to renew their spirits.

:May the shadows be crushed by this water,
:May the wicker be cleansed by this water,
:May the vile be purged by this water,
:May all that is good flourish with this water,

==Hymns and songs==

===My brother in darkness===

:Hello brother, my old friend,
:I've come to talk with you again,
:To speak with you of deep repent,
:Our hearts are hurt and souls silent,
:And the voices of our loves are in our hearts,
:echoing,
:but you only heed the darkness.

:In lonelyness we have crawled,
:In the dark we hid appalled,
:And then we forgot our dreams in life,
:Let our words lead to tears and strife,
:While the voices of our loves were in our hearts,
:whispering,
:Through this time of sadness

:But rest assured, brother dear,
:Hope and Light for us is near,
:For even in these darkest holes,
:it tries to heal our mourning souls,
:And the voices of our loves are in our hearts,
:still speaking,
:whispering words of courage.

:They speak of hope and love,
:And the magnificence thereof,
:The greatness that is still in us,
:Work and deeds they entrusted to us,
:That the voices of our loves be in our hearts,
:and remain,
:They only ask to listen.

===Hymn: There is Light===

:There’s a light shining down on my pathway today,
:Causing darkness and shadows to flee;
:And my soul doth rejoice as I walk in the way,
:There’s a light shining down upon me.

:''Chorus''
:There’s a light shining down, down from the sky on me,
:There’s a light that shines from the skies on me;
:I will walk all my days in its wonderful rays,
:There’s a light that shines from the skies on me.

:Once I wandered in darkness and groped in the night,
:Unto the Light for mercy I called;
:The Light heard my sad cry, and opened my eyes,
:And a light on my pathway did fall.

:Light will bless everyone who will to Light come,
:Light will turn all their darkness to day;
:Will you come to the Light and so humbly bow,
:That this light may shine down on your way?

===Hymn: Light of Mine===

:This little light of mine,
:I'm going to let it shine.
:I'm going to let it shine.
:I'm going to let it shine.
:Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
:Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
:Gonna let my little light shine.

:On Monday, it gave me the gift of love;
:On Tuesday, peace came from above.
:On Wednesday, it told me to have faith;
:On Thursday, it gave me a more grace.
:On Friday, it told me to watch and pray
:On Saturday, it told me just what to say,
:On Sunday, it gave power divine
:Just to let my little light shine.

:This little light of mine,
:I'm going to let it shine.
:Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
:Gonna let my little light shine.

:Now some say you got to run and hide.
:But we say there's no place to hide.
:And some say let others decide,
:But we say let the people decide.
:Some say the time's not right,
:But we say the time's just right.
:If there's a dark corner in our land,
:You got to let your little light shine.

:This little light of mine,
:I'm going to let it shine,
:Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
:Gonna let my little light shine.
