Dan Schutte - City Of God Lyrics
Awake from your slumber! Arise from your sleep!
A new day is dawning for all those who weep
The people in darkness have seen a great light
The Lord of our longing has conquered the night
May our tears be turned into dancing!
For the Lord, our light and our love
Has turned the night into day!
We are sons of the morning; we are daughters of day
The One who has loved us has brightened our way
Let us build the city of God
May our tears be turned into dancing!
For the Lord, our light and our love
God is light; in him there is no darkness
Let us walk in his light, his children, one and all
O comfort My people; make gentle your words
Proclaim to My city the day of her birth
Let us build the city of God
May our tears be turned into dancing!
For the Lord, our light and our love
Has turned the night into day!

Dan Schutte City Of God Comments
What a beauty!
I remember singing this in the choir at mass back in 1984-5...
I couldn’t stand this song as a kid as still couldn’t stand it, but YouTube recommended this for me. No thank you! Dan Schutte is a rabid activist who goes against Catholic Doctrine.
1. It is like something you would hear at a Catholic Woodstock.
2. There are better hymns and chants than this one that have lasted for over 2,000 years that are some of the most sublime pieces of music.
3. Schutte is a homosexual and speaks out against the fundamental principles of Sacred Scripture and Tradition along with Dogmatic and Magisterial teachings.
@Nicholas Limon dude, relax and enjoy the music.
Jun Jun Gatbos The Mass is also a renewal of Calvary. It is not a renactment of the Lord’s Supper.
@Jun Jun Gatbos 👍
@Nicholas Limon that has nothing to do with the beauty of the song.
Surprised to see how many people associate this tune with funerals.

PLEASE PLEASE MAKE your DONAtiON tO tHE HOLY iSRAEL 🇮🇱 MiLitARY
This one's right up there with Kumbaya! It's very New Mass-y.
I love it when the whole church sings this.great spirit.
Let us build a city of god.amen!
Beautiful Hymn
I wantpeople to sing this song at my funeral mass when I PASS AWAY at the Catholic church
I will sing it at your funeral
Make sure to tell your music minister what songs you want for your funeral Mass or tell the funeral home that does your pre-planning. Our organist has the list of songs that various parishioners have requested for their funeral Mass when the time comes. If you don't pre-plan, someone else will choose your funeral songs.
I remember singing this song at my father's funeral service it was the recessional hymn at the end of mass
On May 4th 2000
I bet they also sung this song at my friend Jerry's fathers funeral mass when he died
I remember singing this song at my daddy's funeral mass at ST ELIZABETH ANN SETON ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH R.I.P DADDY I LOVE you so much and I will see you when I get to heaven and the pearly gates
Awake from your slumber!
Arise from your sleep!
A new day is dawning
For all those who weep.
The people in darkness
Have seen a great light.
The Lord of our longing
Has conquered the night.
Refrain:
Let us build the city of God.
May our tears be turned into dancing.
For the Lord, our light and our love,
Has turned the night into day!
We are the sons of the morning;
We are daughters of day.
The one who has loved us
Has brightened our way.
Refrain
God is light;
In him there is no darkness.
Let us walk in his light,
His children, one and all.
O comfort my people,
Make gentle your words
Acclaim to my city
The day of her birth.
Refrain
