Bring Us The Light

Topics: classic

I hear a clear voice calling, calling,     Calling out of the night,     O, you who live in the Light of Life,             Bring us the Light!     We are bound in the chains of darkness,     Our eyes received no sight,     O, you who have never been bond or blind,             Bring us the Light!     We live amid turmoil and horror,     Where might is the only right,     O, you to whom life is liberty,             Bring us the Light!     We stand in the ashes of ruins,     We are ready to fight the fight,     O, you whose feet are firm on the Rock,             Bring us the Light!     You cannot--you shall not forget us,     Out here in the darkest night,     We are drowning men, we are dying men,             Bring, O, bring us the Light!
