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 lamp, 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
