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 the light will not fail He won't rest until His 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 but we'll 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
