When the day comes, on which our victory will shine
like a light in the night, it will be like a dream.
We will laugh and will sing for joy.
Then the other nations will tell of us:
God has done marvelous things for them.
Yes, he does great things for us;
Therefore, we are glad even amidst sufferings.
Lord, shatter the chains of humiliation and death,
as you did it
on the glorious morning of your resurrection.
Let those who scatter in tears
the seeds of justice and freedom,
with joy harvest peace and reconciliation.
Those who go out weeping
as messengers of your love,
will come back
singing for joy,
because they will witness
how in your world hatred
will be overcome by your love.
Zephnis Kameeta.
