Lyrics

out of the dark we came   
out of the sea   
where the long wave broke on the shore   
as the day broke   
and the night rolled back   
there we stood on the land we would call home   
out of the dark we came   
out of the night   
the first of many mornings in this new place   
when the sun rolled back the mist   
we rose like a strong wave on land   
now we were the people of this place   
what burns through the rain and mist?   
what banishes dark?   
what makes the children straight and bright?   
what makes the mountain sharp?   
the sun is our Lord and Father   
bright face at the gate of day   
comfort of home cattle and crop   
lord of the morning   
lord of the day   
lifting our hearts we sing his praise   
dance in his healing rays
