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 daughters 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 captives 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
