Lyrics
Wake from your sleep, all you weary ones
Who are weary of the night
Look to the East, all you dreary ones
Who are waiting for the light
Chorus
Dawn is breaking, and a new day is born
The world is singing the song of the dawn
Birds are waking, hear them welcome the morn
They’re sweetly singing the song of the dawn
Yesterday the skies were gray
Look! This morning they’re blue
The smiling sun tells everyone
“Come and start life anew”
Sing Hallelujah for the dark night is gone
The world is singing the song of the dawn
Performance
