Out of the darkness, out of the night,

I walked by faith for I had no sight,

And I lifted my song, tho’ I could not see,

But you gave the music, gave me words to sing,

Voices in chains sing songs of freedom,

The voice of the lost sings songs of home,

Voices in pain sing songs of healing,

And the voice in the night sang songs of the dawn,

Out of the night came songs of the dawn,

Out of the darkness, out of the night,

I walked by faith for I had no sight,

And I lifted my song, tho’ I could not see,

But you gave the music, gave me words to sing,

Voices in battle sing songs of victory,

The voice near death sings songs of life,

Voices in sorrow sing songs of joy,

And the voice in the darkness sang songs of the light,

Out of the darkness came songs of the light,

Out of the darkness, out of the night,

I walked by faith for I had no sight,

And I lifted my song, tho’ I could not see,

But you gave the music, gave me words to sing,

You gave the music, the melody,

You gave the lyrics, the words I sing,

For a companion you gave me a song,

And you brought me out leaning on your arm,

You brought me out leaning on your arm,

You brought me out leaning on your arm
