about

lyrics

All ye gentile lands awake!
Thou, O Salem, rise and shine!
See the day-spring o’er you break
Heralding a morn divine
Telling, God hath called to mind
Those who long in darkness pined

Lo! the shadows flee away
For our light is come at length
Brighter than all earthly day
Source of being, life and strength!
Whoso on this light would gaze
Must forsake all evil ways

Arise, shine, for your light has come
And the glory of God rises now, upon you
Lift up your eyes and look to the Son
For the glory of God gathers all around you

Ah, how blindly did we stray
Ere shone forth this glorious sun
Seeking each our separate way
Leaving heaven, unsought, unwon
All our looks were earthward bent
All our strength on earth was spent

But the glory of the Lord
Rises upon us today
We have seen the light outpoured
That must surely drive away
All things that to night belong
All the sad earth’s woes and wrong

Everlasting light, shine graciously within
Come, take away our night
Come, shine away our sin
