The night is dark, all is obscure

the seas are turbulent, stars are dim.

I get in my frail boat, I pull up anchor

I set forth with hope not to drown or die

in these dismal seas of uncharted waters.

Is there no hope to illuminate the fierce night?

I sense the rocky shore in crashing waves

I tether my craft, I mount the steps

I enter the lighthouse and swiftly climb

I light the lamp of knowledge, the light of love.

I shine it forth, illuminating the night.

We are the way, the truth, the life

We serve Christ the healer, Christ the light-bearer

We are the soul of humanity shining forth

We are the star illuminating the night.
