All ye faithful, lift ye faith up
(Born of night, born of day)
Stand and sing this song of Jacob
(Born of night, born of day)
Teach your sons and teach your daughters
Prayers to guide them on their way
When they lay down, when they wake up
(Born of night, born of day)
Story tells that Jacob’s mother
(Born of night, born of day)
Chose one son to serve the other
(Born of night, born of day)
Made her bed and slept in solace
Feared and flawless, God’s her grave
Jacob stood and faced his brother
(Born of night, born of day)
Jacob, Jacob, cloaked in silence
(Born of night, born of day)
Time may tell if nothing’s timeless
(Born of night, born of day)
Boats and planes may shake your islands
Tales of pilots lost in space
(Born of night, born of day)
Jacob, Jacob, close your eyelids
(Born of night, born of day)
