O Come Perpetual Light and shine on those who live in darkness.

Gracious God you remain steadfast in your love throughout the ages. You guided our ancestors in the faith, the Jewish people, from slavery in Egypt to a promised land. Your light provided hope and showed the path of travel. Even in the unknown and uncharted wilderness, you remained present with your love and mercy. Guide and guard us in our wanderings. Shine your light upon our path that we might walk in your walks.

Through the Resurrected Body of Christ, Amen.
