You gather us from sunrise in the East,
When Adam, Eve in Garden still were pure,
‘Til Eden’s East sees sunset in the West,
And we know our salvation is secure.
Between the two we’re taught to live the Truth
By You who are the Way, the Truth, the Life
And see You on the Cross as final proof
That Your love in our darkness is our light.
The light of dawn in Eden is the same
As light of sunset dims the western sky
That’s colored by the Spirit with You came
To Eden’s East to bring New Eden nigh.
Your death in sunset brings New Eden’s dawn:
New life for which we have since Eden longed.
