Text:
Fear ye not in darkness.
No need to fear the night.
God has sent His Firstborn Son,
Who leads us with His light.
Hallelujah, the shadow rules no more!
Enlightened by the light of love,
Each heart will sin abhor.
Enlightened by the light of love,
Each heart will sin abhor.

Death has now been conquered,
And hell has lost its sting.
Jesus Christ has overcome
The world. Rejoice and sing!
Hallelujah, each soul shall rise from death.
We'll greet the Lord who saved us all
To breathe immortal breath.
We'll greet the Lord who saved us all
To breathe immortal breath.

Truth shall be uncovered,
All mysteries be known.
We shall marvel at God's love
And know we are His own.
Hallelujah, for truth and light revealed
Will shout the glory of our lives
When nothing is concealed.
Will shout the glory of our lives
When nothing is concealed.
