Awake from your slumber

Arise from your sleep

A new day is dawning

For all those who weep

The people of darkness

Have seen a great light

The Lord of our long morning

Has conquered the night



Let us build the city of God

May our tears be turned into dancing

For the lord our light and our love

Has turned the night into day

Let us build the city of God

May our tears be turned into dancing

For the lord our light and our love

Has turned the night

Turned the night into day



We are sons of the morning

And dauthers of the day

The one who has loved us

Has brightened our way

The Lord of all kindness

Has called us to be

A light for the nations

To set captures free



Let us build the city of God

May our tears be turned into dancing

For the lord our light and our love

Has turned the night into day

Let us build the city of God

May our tears be turned into dancing

For the lord our light and our love

Has turned the night

Turned the night into day



Let us build the city of God

May our tears be turned into dancing

For the lord our light and our love

Has turned the night into day

Let us build the city of God

May our tears be turned into dancing

For the lord our light and our love

Has turned the night

Turned the night into day
