[Verse 1]
F Bb C Dm
God of day and God of darkness,
Bb C F
Now we stand before the night.
Bb C Dm
As the shadows stretch and deepen,
Bb C F
Come and make our darkness bright.
C Dm
All creation still is groaning
F C Bb
For the dawning of your might.
C Dm F Bb
When the Sun of peace and justice
Gm C F Bb F
Fills the earth with radiant light.
[Verse 2]
F Bb C Dm
Still the nations curse the darkness,
Bb C F
Still the rich oppress the poor.
Bb C Dm
Still the earth is bruised and broken
Bb C F
By the ones who still want more.
C Dm
Come and wake us from our sleeping,
F C Bb
So our hearts cannot ignore
C Dm F Bb
All your people lost and broken,
Gm C F Bb F
All your children at our door.
[Verse 3]
F Bb C Dm
Show us Christ in one another.
Bb C F
Make us servants strong and true.
Bb C Dm
Give us all your love of justice,
Bb C F
So we do what you would do.

Let us call all people holy.
F C Bb
Let us pledge our lives anew.
C Dm F Bb
Make us one with all the lowly.
Gm C F Bb F
Let us all be one in you.
[Verse 4]
F Bb C Dm
You shall be the path that guides us;
Bb C F
You the light that in us burns.
Bb C Dm
Shining deep within all people,
Bb C F
Yours the love that we must learn.
C Dm
For our hearts shall wander restless
F C Bb
'Til they safe to you return.
C Dm F Bb
Finding you in one another,
Gm C F Bb F
We shall all your face discern.
