We will awaken the dawn with a song in the night For a new day will come just as sure as the sun will rise Though deep darkness prevail for the night weeping endures Yet Your light will not fail You won't rest until our righteousness shines
You who dwell between the cherubim to You we cry O Shepherd of Israel restore and cause Your face to shine Don't remember our former sin Let Your mercy speedily come O Shepherd of Israel restore and cause Your face to shine
Though we're feasting on the bread of affliction And the water of tears is our wine We won't draw back we will run to You For we know it's just a matter of time You will answer the cry of Your people and Your ear is attentive to their sighs So we lift up our voice to You and we sing in the dawning light
For the glory of Your name for Your glory and your fame Though the earth be removed we lift our hands to only You For the glory of Your name for Your glory and Your fame Though the nations rage toward You let our love remain true
