Halcyon Days by Melissa Dunphy, text by Jacqueline Goldfinger, sung by Chor Leoni

Chor Leoni | Erick Lichte, Artistic Director

Sacred days draw near
Traditions hallowed and wan
Well-worn prayers embrace their heirs
when Love returns as embers
Dreams delayed, hopes frayed in the blue nights of winter
Daybreak dreams of reunions lost

Rise up, rise up, tattered and torn
Rise up, rise up, barren and reborn!

Go forth in peace
Bring joy to the dawn
And grace, turn your face upon us

Sacred days draw near

Daybreak dreams of reunions lost

Rise up, rise up, tattered and torn
Rise up, rise up, barren and reborn!

Go forth in peace
Bring joy to the dawn
And grace, turn your face upon us
And grace, turn your face upon us
