You turn night into day, the sun Your willing slave

Chasing shadows away, the power You display

So let Your light shine on me and thaw this winter soul

Granting signs to confirm what the prophets said

So let Your Word be exalted and every man a liar

Come aboard Heaven Ark before the dawning fire

Come aboard, come aboard before      the dawning fire, Heaven fire

Come aboard, come aboard before       the dawning fire, Heaven fire
