God of illumination
and God of our salvation,
of grace and glory, the
fountain of life;
in your light we see
light.
Their jailer fell
down trembling before Paul and Silas,
full of fear. For him it was the beginning of wisdom.
It has been said we
should fear you just enough,
O God, that we need
fear nothing else at all.
In Jesus you have
given us your light;
help us be your
children of light,
that we may depart
from evil.
