Holding fast to mercy, in the hush we testify.

The glory rests upon you; a steady light, a quiet dawn.
All nations come toward the light; kings to the brightness of your rising,
Lift up your eyes and see — they gather now, they come to you.
(Verse 2)
In the hush of early morning we lift a steady prayer,
Pastor Children obeyed the Call; a faithful answer in the air.
From distant roads the sons return, carried on memory and grace,
Daughters borne upon the hip, a tender sign of home and place.
(Pre-Chorus 2)

We walk in solemn courage, love the lantern at our side,
Unity our quiet armor, faith the route by which we stride.

Your daughters shall be carried on the hip; your sons shall come from afar.
