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
