In Lucem
You will forget your sorrow.
You will be happy, you will clothe yourself in light.
Your sadness will be made a vague memory.
We will shout and sing and reap in joy.
We will laugh again, we will love again.
Our sadness will be like a river Traveling across the earth, flowing into the ocean.
You will forget your sorrow.
You will be happy, you will clothe yourself in light. less
