Lyrics:
Oh sleep in peace, you valleys and hills
Be safe, be free as the breeze
The north wind of fear like a banshee howled
And she drove you down on your knees to pray
She drove you down on your knees
Lift up your head to the morning light
The fight o'er darkness is won
And feast your eyes on the land you love
Its life returning with the sun behold
Its life returning with the sun
And the morning walks proud, shining out like a flame
No evil could subdue
You open up your arms in friendship and joy
To welcome in the newborn day
To welcome in the new
May the spirit so strong in the shadow and storm
Hold fast to what is right
And surely as you breathe the gentle air of peace
This land shall shelter in the light of love
This land shall shelter in the light
