Arise and Sing, Dispel Your Fears

Arise and sing

di­spel your fears

Tidings of joy sa­lute your ears

And Heav’n pours forth its sac­red light

To dis­si­pate the gloom of night.

See from the high­est realms of bliss

Angels des­cend to pub­lish peace;

Wrapped in the glo­ri­ous theme

the plains

Resound in their me­lo­di­ous strain.

Lo

the bright sun of right­eous­ness

Appears the des­ert world to bless;

May ev­ery soul their tribu­te bring

And worlds un­born His glo­ry sing.
