Arise, O God, and Shine

lyricist: William Hurn, 1813
Composer: John Edwards, 1840

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.

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.

Put forth Thy glo­ri­ous pow­er

That Gen­tiles all may see

And earth pre­sent her store

In con­verts born to Thee.

God

our own God

His Church will bless

And fill the world with right­eous­ness.

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.
