You built a city on mountain peaks;
Your voice from heaven in thunder speaks
The great commandment compelling us
To a world that needs to know your [law ?]
A light to the nations, A great celebration
Of the mercy that is lavished on us.
A hope for the hopeless, a sign of forgiveness,
God, let us be a light to the nations.
Restore the Seal of Your holy Church
A Pentecost and a second birth.
Your love within us, a beacon bright,
To a world that needs to know your mind.
A light to the nations, A great celebration
Of the mercy that is lavished on us.
A hope for the hopeless, a sign of forgiveness,
God let us be a light to the nations.
Our greatest fear is our light, not our darkness;
[When is this church] [manifesting] your greatness?
A city set on a hill for all to see, O let us be-
A light to the nations, A great celebration
Of the mercy that is lavished on us.
A hope for the hopeless, a sign of forgiveness,
God let us be a light to the nations.
