Our Dawn Begins Anew

From open tomb You rise to bring new dawn
With wisdom of Your Cross You give to us—
A death of sin for which our hearts have longed—
As Spirit breathes new life in earthly dust.

Your wisdom we learn never in us fades
But grows, is watered by the Spirit’s wind
That blows away the dark of Eden’s shade
And let’s our life You planned anew begin.

When we with You arise from Church’s fount,
You feed us with Your Body and Your Blood
As You with each climb up Your holy mount
On ladder of Your Cross where Life’s Tree stood.

With You, from mount we can our Eden view;
By You redeemed, our hearts make Eden new.
