Arise, Shine

Darkness like a shroud covers the earth;

Evil like a cloud covers the people.

But the Lord will rise upon you

And His glory will appear on you-

Nations will come to your light.

Arise

shine

your light has come

The glory of the Lord has risen on you!

Arise

shine

your light has come

Jesus the Light of the world has come.

Children of the light

be clean and pure.

Rise

you sleepers

Christ will shine on you.

Take the Spirit's flashing two-edged sword

And with faith declare God's mighty word;

Stand up and in His strength be strong.

Here among us now

Christ the light

Kindles brighter flames in our trembling hearts.

Living Word

our l

come guide our feet

As we walk as one in light and peace

Till justice and truth shine like the sun.

Like a city bright so let us blaze;

Lights in every street turning night to day.

And the darkness shall not overcome

Till the fulness of Christ's kingdom comes

Dawning to God's eternal day.
