The New Dawn, New Revival

Sun calls from eastern sky: With gladsome song

arise!

The healing rays of Christ the Sun awaken and revive;

As dew

descends His grace; my cold heart melts apace;

The shining of His loving face all idols dissipates.

New dawn draws near

revival’s here;

I consecrate afresh today

By Your life renewed

o’ercoming

Till we see Your dear face.

In Him

keep deep’ning our roots; life blossoms

sends forth shoots;

Each morn

we rise

gain manna new

His word afresh pursue.

We offer ceaseless prayer

as simple lilies fair;

New wine and olive oil we bear

Christ’s glory to declare.

The Lord will surely restore the locust-eaten years;

By resurrection’s mighty pow’r

all failure disappears.

Appearing constantly

our Songs of Steps* He leads;

No care for earthly fame have we; we share God’s history.

Our worthless house of straw we build in vain no more;

We gather wood in one accord His dwelling to restore;

Clean homes

fling wide the doors; greet sinners from all shores;

Bring in the sheaves with shouts of joy

the flock lead to the Lord.

Revival’s law operates in cycles

night and day;

Rise

preach always

in every place

till earth resounds with praise.

The corp’rate God-man life

it’s heaven’s life on earth;

Oh

keep us

Lord

at every time still fresh till Your return.
