A time to experience the salvation as
Good News.
In the beginning was the One who is called the Word.
The Word was with God and truly was God.
From the beginning the Word was with God.
And with this Word,
God created all things.
Nothing was made
without the Word.
Everything that was created
received its life from God.

To split the curtain of the night.

While what was night in darkness lay.

To share his world so bright and new;
To love the earth, the sea, the sky,

His special love, long, long ago.
