Wakened by the joyful warning,
Let the earthbound soul arise;
Like the sun, dark night dispelling,
Hope shines bright o'er morning skies.

See the Light now beams with glory,
Lending balm to heal our sore;
Let us build our life's new story,
As we rise to fall no more.

So, when sorrow's veil surrounds us
When our souls are wrapped in fear,
Dawn's embrace will ever shield us,
Love's redeeming grace draws near.

In the Light we journey onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

(tune: Merton)
