lyrics

INTRO:
| D - A | G - A |

Bm - G D
Creator of the stars of night
G D/F# A Bm
Your people’s ever - lasting light
Em D/F# A Bm
O Christ, Redeemer of us all
D/F# G A D - A G - A
We pray you hear us when we call

Bm - G D
In sorrow that the ancient curse
G D/F# A Bm
Should doom to death a universe
Em D/F# A Bm
You came, O Savior, to set free
D/F# G A D - A G - A
Your own in glorious liberty

Bm - G D
At your great Name, O Jesus, now
G D/F# A Bm
All knees must bend, all hearts must bow
Em D/F# A Bm
All things on earth with one accord
D/F# G A D - A G - A
Like those in heaven, shall call you Lord

Bm - G D
Come in your holy might, we pray
G D/F# A Bm
Redeem us for eternal day
Em D/F# A Bm
Defend us while we dwell below
D/F# G A D - A G - A
From all assaults of our dread foe

Bm - G D
To God the Father, God the Son
G D/F# A Bm
And God the Spirit, Three in One
Em D/F# A Bm
Praise, honor, might, and glory be
D/F# G A D - A G - A
From age to age, eternally

The whole album is a great idea with lots of good execution. The track "Arise, Shine, for Your Light has Come" is a stunning standout. Our church used it four services in a row! Kent Reeder
