Into a dark world
a snowdrop comes,
a benison
of hope and peace,
carrying within it
a green heart,
symbol; of God’s renewing love.
Come to inhabit our darkness Lord Christ,
for dark and night
are alike to you.
May nature’s white candles of hope remind us of your birth
and light our journey
through Lent and beyond.
