Dawning Light of Jesus
(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-card!)
The sun bursts in the sky,
The rays warm my heart:
Glorious to witness
A new day at its start.
Such is the entry
Of dawn on the earth,
Such is the triumph:
A new day at its birth.
For light overcomes
The darkness of night.
Yes, darkness surrenders
To the glory of light.
The truth of the Lord
Shines in this way;
The truth of Christ
Shines bright as the day.
Though darkness is deep,
Though sin is vast,
None can overcome
Light of First and Last.
Glory, Glory to God,
For the Light He gives.
Praise to our Father:
His goodness lives.
His goodness and truth
Prevail forevermore;
His love and His light
Eternally endure.
Dance I shall then
In the warmth of His rays.
Sing I shall of Him
All my life, all my days.
I shall join hands
With sister and brother;
We lift our hearts to God
And uplift one another.
Rejoicing in the Son-light,
Rejoicing in its rays,
Rejoicing in Jesus –
His love does amaze!
His Light overcomes
The darkness of night.
Yes, darkness surrenders
To the glory of Light.
Such is the entry
Of Truth on the earth,
Such is the triumph:
Jesus Christ brings rebirth.
His Light fills my soul,
His rays warm my heart:
Glorious to witness
New Life at its start.
