The dawn of a mystery, the presence of riches,
for Christ is among us and love ends our fear,
the good news of grace is now ours for the asking,
a new day is rising, salvation is near!
In past generations the promise was hidden,
but now we can read it and see with our eyes
divine revelation that brings God before us,
as close as our breath and as near as our sighs.
Verse 3 follow
