C Dm     Bb     Gm   C F   Bb F


[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.
       C               Dm
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.
