There's a distant voice, an awakening cry
For a land in darkest night
And it calls you now to shed the past
And move into the light
Let your heart be clean as you search for Him
And seek for what is right
For where darkness reigned now the dawn will break
As you move into the light
Rise, rise O sleeper
Bring your heartfelt thanks to the Lord of all
In the name of Jesus Christ
Make righteousness and truth your goal
As children of the light
For a land in darkest night
And it calls you now to shed the past
And move into the light
Let your heart be clean as you search for Him
And seek for what is right
For where darkness reigned now the dawn will break
As you move into the light
Rise, rise O sleeper
Bring your heartfelt thanks to the Lord of all
In the name of Jesus Christ
Make righteousness and truth your goal
As children of the light
