-
Light that drives out the darkness
is shining brightly from the East.
Sons and daughters of light
are dwelling in the Garden there.
This is God's land of righteousness,
chosen by Him to do His will;
These are God's people, chosen ones,
upright in mind and heart.
Chorus:
As we now receive the love of God,
our boundless source of light,
Come, let's join together
and in brightness we shall live;
We'll shine like the brightest star
to all of heaven and earth!
-
Good that wins over evil
is now uniting in the East.
People longing for good
are dwelling in the garden there.
Country of prayer and holy life,
honoring God eternally;
People who wear the robe of white,
sacrificing for the Lord;
|
-
Love that ends all the hatred
is now to blossom in the East.
Men refusing to sin
are dwelling in the garden there.
Ridiculed and rejected land,
separates good from sinfulness;
People who know the thorny path
knowing God's wondrous love;
-
Greatest victory eternal
is now beginning in the East.
Those who crush evil ways
are dwelling in the garden there.
Country divided North and South
truly knows good from sinfulness;
People who shed their precious blood,
given for the sins of men;
-
Brilliant glory of Heaven
now comes in power from the East.
Those who carry the cross,
are dwelling the garden there.
Country where soon the Sun will rise,
welcoming soon the Son of Man;
There the bright Rose of Sharon blooms,
beautiful garden of God;
