On a hill stands a cross, still shining fair,
As the sun when the night has turned into day,
Bright as day, still it shines bright as day.
-- VERSE 2 --
(Play PART 1 + PART 2)
And from it love's pure light,
Ever flowing to cleanse the heart, bring life,
Drive the sin far away,
See it wash it all away, far away.
-- CHORUS --
[G]To this [Bm7]cross eyes of [Am7]men are ever turning,
Today just as they [D]did in days gone [G]by,
And for the [Bm]love of God,
Their [Am7]hearts are ever yearning
Like men at sea in [D]search of morning [G]light.
[G]Awake, awake our [Am7]hearts to hear the echos,
Your [D]words resound at the [G]dawning.
And all day we taste a [Am7]love that is undying,
And all [D]day in praise for the [D/E]morning [Am7]light,
The [D/E]morning [Am7]light.
