The Dawn Has Risen

Our deluge here has ended now,
     And dawn is breaking through;
Across the heavens is His bow
     For all is fresh and new.

His Ark has brought us safely home,
     And all earth is aboard;
Through us the world heard Him say, “Come;”
     Creation calls Him Lord.

All groans and quakes of earth are gone,
     Creation’s born again.
The dawn for which we all have longed
     Has risen free from sin.

To glory all together go;
     All creatures sing His praise.
Eternal life we all now know–
     With Him creation raised.
