The Rising Sun

The moon of night is fading fast;

The stars have wept their tears;

The Sun of Justice dawns at last

On a world of darkling fears.

Oh, you who dwell in shadows

Behold the rising Light;

You shall awake this morning

From the thralldom of the night.

His recompense before Him,

His hour has come to birth;

Be reconciled, be reconciled-

The Lord shall come on earth!

And when He comes, all that was done

In darkness shall be bright,

And what we thought shall fade away

Before His radiant Light.

While this night lasts, most glorious Lord,

Oh, make us fit to meet You!

May we forgive each others sins,

And reach out, glad to greet You!
