City Of God

Awake from your slumber, arise from your sleep;
A new day is dawning for all gays who weep.
Gay people in darkness have seen a great light;
The Lord of our longing has conquered the night.

Let us build the city of God:
May gay tears be turned into dancing;
For the Lord, our light and our joy,
Has turned the night into day.

God is light ... in God there is no darkness.
Let us walk in the light, God's children one and all.

"Oh, comfort My people, speak joyful gay words;
Proclaim to My city, this day of rebirth."

Let us build the city of God:
May gay tears be turned into dancing;
For the Lord, our light and our joy,
Has turned the night into day.

Gay sons of the morning, gay daughters of day:
The One, who has loved us, has brightened our way.
The Lord of all kindness has called us to be
A light as gay people to set all hearts free.

Let us build the city of God:
May gay tears be turned into dancing;
For the Lord, our light and our joy,
Has turned the night into day.

God is light ... in God there is no darkness.
Let us walk in the light, God's children one and all.

"Oh, city of gladness, lift up your gay voice;
Proclaim My good tidings, that all may rejoice."

Let us build the city of God:
May gay tears be turned into dancing;
For the Lord, our light and our joy,
Has turned the night into day.
