Out of darkness the light of Christ will shine,
as the dawn of day breaks through the night.
Then the poor and oppressed will cry out and be heard
by the light that rises from the night.

Let the darkness flee from here.
Put an end to sadness and fear.
The hungry will eat, the sick will dance,
the dead will live again.

Out of darkness the light of Christ will shine,
as the dawn of day breaks through the night.
Then the poor and oppressed will cry out and be heard
by the light that rises from the night.

This is the night, O holy of nights,
the chains of death are destroyed.
This is the light; the glory of God
is raised to life again.

Out of darkness the light of Christ will shine,
as the dawn of day breaks through the night.
Then the poor and oppressed will cry out and be heard
by the light that rises from the night.

A single flame, a flicker of hope
spreads like a sea of fire.
Open the door, shout to the night:
We will live again.

Out of darkness the light of Christ will shine,
as the dawn of day breaks through the night.
Then the poor and oppressed will cry out and be heard
by the light that rises from the night.

Then the poor and oppressed will cry out and be heard
by the light that rises from the night.
