Hymns for Youth ‎#154

154. Arise, O God, and Shine

1. Arise, O God, and shine
In all thy saving might,
And prosper each design
To spread thy glorious light;
Let healing streams of mercy flow
That all the earth thy truth may know.

2. Bring distant nations near
To sing thy glorious praise;
Let every people hear
And learn thy holy ways.
Reign, mighty God, assert thy cause,
And govern by thy righteous laws.

3. To God, the only wise,
The one immortal king,
Let hallelujahs rise
From every living thing;
Let all that breathe, on every coast,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
