Sun calls from eastern sky: With gladsome song, arise! The healing rays of Christ the Sun awaken and revive; As dew, descends His grace; my cold heart melts apace; The shining of His loving face all idols dissipates. |
| New dawn draws near, revival's here; I consecrate afresh today, By Your life renewed, o'ercoming, Till we see Your dear face. |

In Him, keep deep'ning our roots; life blossoms, sends forth shoots; Each morn, we rise, gain manna new, His word afresh pursue. We offer ceaseless prayer, as simple lilies fair; New wine and olive oil we bear, Christ's glory to declare. |

The Lord will surely restore the locust-eaten years; By resurrection's mighty pow'r, all failure disappears. Appearing constantly, our Songs of Steps* He leads; No care for earthly fame have we; we share God's history. |

Our worthless house of straw we build in vain no more; We gather wood in one accord His dwelling to restore; Clean homes, fling wide the doors; greet sinners from all shores; Bring in the sheaves with shouts of joy, the flock lead to the Lord. |

Revival's law operates in cycles, night and day; Rise, preach always, in every place, till earth resounds with praise. The corp'rate God-man life, it's heaven's life on earth; Oh, keep us, Lord, at every time still fresh till Your return. |

New dawn draws nesr, revival's here, I consecrate afresh today, by your life renewed, o'ercoming, till we see your fear face. What a marvelous hymn and it was the hymn writers experience. May it be ours as well.
