| out of the dark we came | |
| out of the sea | |
| where the long wave broke on the shore | |
| as the day broke | |
| and the night rolled back | |
| there we stood on the land we would call home | |
| out of the dark we came | |
| out of the night | |
| the first of many mornings in this new place | |
| when the sun rolled back the mist | |
| we rose like a strong wave on land | |
| now we were the people of this place | |
| what burns through the rain and mist? | |
| what banishes dark? | |
| what makes the children straight and bright? | |
| what makes the mountain sharp? | |
| the sun is our Lord and Father | |
| bright face at the gate of day | |
| comfort of home cattle and crop | |
| lord of the morning | |
| lord of the day | |
| lifting our hearts we sing his praise | |
| dance in his healing rays |
| out of the dark we came | |
| out of the sea | |
| where the long wave broke on the shore | |
| as the day broke | |
| and the night rolled back | |
| there we stood on the land we would call home | |
| out of the dark we came | |
| out of the night | |
| the first of many mornings in this new place | |
| when the sun rolled back the mist | |
| we rose like a strong wave on land | |
| now we were the people of this place | |
| what burns through the rain and mist? | |
| what banishes dark? | |
| what makes the children straight and bright? | |
| what makes the mountain sharp? | |
| the sun is our Lord and Father | |
| bright face at the gate of day | |
| comfort of home cattle and crop | |
| lord of the morning | |
| lord of the day | |
| lifting our hearts we sing his praise | |
| dance in his healing rays |
