It's not dog Latin - there's nothing wrong with it. "Resurgit" means "he/she/it rises back up" - the past participle of the word is "resurrectus," which you should recognize as etymologically related to "resurrect." "Crescenti luce" is just an ablative phrase -could be an ablative absolute, which would give it the meaning, "when the light grows," or just a simple locative ablative, "in the growing light." Not really a difference a Roman would have worried about, anyway.

It sounds like Latin but it is probably a cobbled together phrase in what is commonly called "dog-latin" It is meant to signify something like - "The crescent light will rise again" maybe.
