Author: Jock Curle, 1919- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-9 Lyrics: 1 At the dawning of salvation;
in the morning of the world,
Christ is raised, a living banner
by the love of God unfurled,
Through the daylight, through the darkness,
Christ leads on his great array:
all the saints and all the sinners
he has gathered on his way.
2 He is risen in the morning,
he is risen from the dead;
he is laughter after sadness,
he is light when night has fled.
He has suffered, he has triumphed,
life is his alone to give:
as he gave it once he gives it
evermore, that we may live.
3 For the glory of salvation
in the dawn of Easter day
we will praise you, loving Father;
we rejoice to sing and pray
with the Son and with the Spirit
Lead us on, your great array,
saints and siners celebrating
your triumphant love today. Topics: Celebration of Faith; Communion of Saints; Easter; God's Love to Us; Jesus Christ Resurrection; Joy; Light; New Life in Christ; People of God; Resurrection; Saints Days and Holy Days Any Saint; Salvation; Sunday Used With Tune: NETTLETON
