Now we have been through the harvest  Winter has truly begun  Now we have walked in the chill of the night  We are waiting for, waiting for  For the Saviour's Day    Many have come from the valleys  Many have come from the hills  Many have started their journey home  To be with someone, with someone  On the Saviour's Day     Open your eyes on Saviour's Day  Don't look back or turn away  Life can be yours if you'll only stay  He is calling you, calling you  On the Saviour's Day     Joining the old and the young ones  Joining the black and the white  Meeting the need of the hungry is He  Will we ever remember Him  On the Saviour's Day    Open your eyes on Saviour's Day  Don't look back or turn away  Life can be yours if you'll only stay  He is calling you, calling you  On the Saviour's Day     Here's to the God of the present  Here's to the God of the past  Here's to the hope in the future He brings  We will sing to Him, sing to Him    Open your eyes on Saviour's Day  Don't look back or turn away  Life can be yours if you'll only stay  He is calling you, calling you    On the Saviour's Day  On the Saviour's Day  On the Saviour's Day  He is calling you    On the Saviour's Day  On the Saviour's Day  On the Saviour's Day  On the Saviour's Day  Raise up your glasses  And drink to the king  On the Saviour's Day
