The long night and its blackened hue
Begin to brighten to dark blue
A kingdom now dawning
A kingdom now dawning
Sin-laid frost and the frozen night
Thawed by the warm new morning light
A kingdom now dawning
A kingdom now dawning
Christ up from the ground arisen
As the sun on morn's horizon
A kingdom now dawning
A kingdom now dawning
A kingdom now dawning
A kingdom now dawning
The tears we now shed down
Will be the dew upon the ground
As the sun breaks through bright and true
The trump of heaven sounds
As grace eternally resounds
As the sun breaks through bright and true
A kingdom now dawning
A kingdom now dawning
A kingdom now dawning
A kingdom now dawning
A kingdom now dawning
A kingdom now dawning
World of your hands, fruit of your dreams
Laid down to save, rose to redeem
