Fair breaks the day with gladness, its light brings hope to all; O God of heaven, we bless you that we have heard your call. 2 The light of God is resting upon the encircling hills, pledge of the new day coming, hope for our wearied wills; long though the night, and fearful, the day reveals your power; O God of heaven, we thank you, our strong and mghty tower. 3 Fierce though the conflict rages, not yet the victory won; God give us strength ane courage until our task is done. The foe moves out against us, his hosts in grim array; O God of heaven, we pray you: Revive our cause today! 4 Rise up, O church to action! Take up the cause of right; the foe is strong, but stronger are you in heaven's might: with joy we hear the challenge and answer to your call; O God of heaven, your kingdom shall triumph over all.
