The light shines in our shadows
and shade cannot cast it to flight.
The light shines in our shadows
for all who are risen aright.

And risen right are we when full of mercy
as we are rightly fashioned to be filled with compassion;
and risen right we are not shaken ever
for all risen aright will be remembered forever….

The light shines in our shadows
and shade cannot cast it to flight.
The light shines in our shadows
for all who are risen aright.

And wickedness will see us and be angry,
and death will gnash its teeth that we find relief.
All dreams of wicked fever dawn will sever
till all risen aright will be remembered forever….

The light shines in our shadows
and shade cannot cast it to flight.
The light shines in our shadows
for all who are risen aright.
