Lyrics
Arise, ye people, and look about you unto the east. See! The darkness flees away! And lo, there dawns the morning light! After the darkness cometh light; Soon will the dawning follow the night, Songs of victory crown the strife. After death, cometh immortal life; After the gloom of sorrow’s night Cometh light, cometh light! All shadows grey will soon flee away. See, in the east breaketh the morning light. All ye who in sorrow’s night, Shrouded in darkness, gone all light; Lift up your eyes to the eastern skies Bright with the first flush of dawn. Soon will the night be gone, The light shall come again! Fear not, oh Christian men. After the darkness cometh light; Soon will the dawning follow the night, Songs of victory crown the strife. After death, cometh immortal life; After the gloom of sorrow’s night Cometh light, cometh light! All shadows grey will soon flee away. See, in the east breaketh the morning light, breaketh the light! Light! Light! Light!
