1 Arise and shine, thy light is come!
The Lord hath made thee free;
The chains of darkness bind no more;
Go forth in liberty!
Refrain:
Arise and shine, thy light is come!
Arise, arise and shine!
With love’s bright adorning
Shine forth as the morning,
Arise, arise and shine!
2 Arise and shine, thy light is come!
Let sin and sorrow hide;
Go forth and show to all the world
That Light and Life abide! [Refrain]
3 Arise and shine, thy light is come!
Thy God thy glory is;
Show forth the wonders of His love,
And let all praise be His! [Refrain]
4 Arise and shine, thy light is come,
And night shall be no more;
Shine till the glory of the Lord
Is known from shore to shore! [Refrain]
