We will awaken the dawn   With a song in the night   For a new day will come   Just as sure as the sun will rise      Though deep darkness prevail   For the night weeping endures   Yet Your light will not fail   You won't rest until our righteousness shines      You who dwell between the cherubim   To You we cry   Oh, Shepherd of Israel   Restore and cause Your face to shine   Don't remember our former sin   Let Your mercy speedily come   Oh, Shepherd of Israel   Restore and cause Your face to shine      Though we're feasting on the bread of affliction   And the water of tears is our wine   We won't draw back   We will run to You   For we know it's just a matter of time   You will answer the cry of Your people   And Your ear is attentive to their sighs   So we lift up our voice to You   And we sing in the dawning light      For the glory of Your name   For Your glory and your fame   Though the earth be removed   We lift our hands to only You      For the glory of Your name   For Your glory and Your fame   Though the nations rage toward You   Let our love remain true
