Darkness Has Faded

Darkness has faded, night gives way to morning;

Sleep has refreshed us, now we thank our Maker.

Singing his praises, lifting up to heaven

Hearts, minds and voices.

Daystar of heaven, Dawn that ends our darkness.

Sun of salvation, Lord enthroned in splendor,

Stay with us, Jesus; let your Easter glory

Fill all creation.

Flame of the Spirit, fire with love’s devotion

Hearts love created, make us true apostles;

Give us a vision wide as heav’n’s horizon.

Bright with your promise.

Father in heaven. guide your children homewards;

Jesus, our Brother, walk beside us always;

Joy-giving Spirit, make the world one people,

Sign of God’s Kingdom.
