City Of God Lyrics

Awake from your slumber
arise from your sleep
a new day is dawning
for all those who weep

The people in darkness
have seen a great light
the lord of our longing
has conquered the night

Chorus
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

We are sons of the morning,
we are children of day.
The one who has loved us
has brightened our way.

The lord of all kindness
has called us to be
a light for his people
to set their hearts free.
