Intro/verse:

For years we've fought the night

 with pale and ghostly flames

Some still dream of light,

 say the sun will rise again

 But we kill our need for alms

 with cool and measured crime

 We learn to grift and palm

 from our hearts and from our minds,

 but let us not be faithless, for you will meet our needs

Thy good and gracious word is a lamp unto our feet
