Dark to Dawn

Your sunset’s beams shine through Your dusk-time sky,
A promise that Your dawn will rise again:
Through dark to dawn You call us all to fly.

Yet fear comes with the night when we’re to die
And rest beneath Your earth, our debt for sin–
Your sunset’s beams shine through Your dusk-time sky.

Repentance for our sin brings hope that lies
With us each night that with You we’ll descend:
Through dusk to dawn You call us all to fly.

In our deep sleep You will to us draw nigh—
The curtain drawn between us You now rend—
Your sunset’s beams shine through Your dusk-time sky,

And when You come You lift ourselves on high
With love and faith from You that will not end:
Through dark to dawn You call us all to fly,

And through it all we hear a joyful sigh
From all at rest who to You Three ascend!
Your sunset’s beams shine through Your dusk-time sky;
Through dark to dawn You call us all to fly.
