Dan Schutte and Josh Blakesley - City of God

Awake from your slumber! Arise from your sleep!
A new day is dawning for all those who weep
The people in darkness have seen a great light
The Lord of our longing 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!

We are sons of the morning we are daughters 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

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!

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

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!

O city of gladness, now lift up your voice!
Proclaim the good tidings that all may rejoice!

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!
