Verse 1]
You will not fear the terror of the night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
His faithfulness will be your shield
And in His dwelling, you'll stay

[Pre-Chorus]
He will cover you with His feathers
In His shelter, you will find rest

[Chorus]
For the darkness will turn to dawning
And the dawning to noonday bright
I’ll praise the One who is holding me fast
Father of Light

[Verse 2]
When anxious thoughts fill an endless night
And fear paralyses me
I'll shout Your name, knowing You will hear
And be sure to rescue me

[Pre-Chorus]
You will cover me with Your feathers
In Your shelter, I will find rest

[Chorus]
For the darkness will turn to dawning
And the dawning to noonday bright
I'll praise the One who is holding me fast
Father of Light

[Bridge]
I’ll cling onto You and wait for the morning
Deliver me, my God, in Whom I trust
Oh, I'll cling onto You and wait for the morning, I'll wait, I'll wait
Deliver me, my God, in Whom I trust

[Chorus]
For the darkness will turn to dawning
And the dawning to noonday bright
I'll praise the One who is holding me fast
Father of Light
Oh, for the darkness will turn to dawning
And the dawning to noonday bright
I'll praise the One who is holding me fast
Father of Light

[Outro]
I'll praise the One who is holding me fast
Father of Light
