  D                Em7/D   A/D                D  Dsus2
1. Awake from your slumber!  Arise from your sleep!

  D             Em7/D  A/D             A   D    G/D D Dsus2
   A new day is dawning  for all those who weep,

  D              Em7/D   A/D                     D Dsus
   The people in darkness   have seen a great light

  D                 Em7/D A/D                   A D  G/D D Dsus2 D
   The Lord of our longing   has conquered the night


                G         A       D  Dsus2 D
REF:    Let us build the city of God.

                Em        A           D      Dsus2 D
        May our tears be turned into dancing.

                 G         A             D  Dsus2 D
        For the Lord, our Light and our Love,

             Em         A          D  Em7/D A/D A D G/D D Dsus2
        Has turned the night into day.


2. 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. (REF)


3. God is Light; in Him there is no darkness.
   Let us walk in His light, His children, one and all.
   O comfort My people, make gentle your words.
   Proclaim to My city the day of her birth. (REF)
