Creator of light,
Provider of comfort and reassurance
when darkness envelops us,
We stand on the threshold
of our celebration of freedom
As we will bask in the glow
Of candles kindled
by loving and hopeful hands.
Strengthen our resolve
To take a stand for our continued liberty,
To practice our faith,
To add new insights to our ever-growing wisdom,
To sustain our heritage,
To cultivate a commitment to community
In a new generation,
To advocate for justice and fairness among all people,
To teach understanding and respect in the face of hatred,
And to engender love and friendship
So that Your Oneness will suffuse our spirits.
May these be the flames that burn inside our souls
In the days to come.
