Our New Day

From the shadows of our longest night we are waking
Every anxious heart looking at last to the sky
Hear the thunder of hope from the chains love is breaking
And the song that is lifted on high
Alleluia, alleluia,
This is our new day!

Now the stone that concealed mercy's hand has been shattered
Oh, the light like a sword piercing even the grave
Where despair once prevailed, now the angels have gathered
Every sin, every tear wiped away
Alleluia, alleluia
This is our new day!

Alleluia, Christ is risen!
Alleluia, mercy makes a way
This is our new day!

Let the poor now receive all the riches denied them
Let the outcast find arms to run into at last
And the wandering souls cry for joy as love finds them
As all we've waited for comes to pass
Alleluia, alleluia
This is our new day!

Alleluia, Christ is risen!
Alleluia, mercy makes a way
This is our new day!

This is our new day!
