Arise in All Thy Splendor, Lord

lyricist: Sarah Slin, 1797
Composer: Carmina Sacra, 1844

Arise in all Thy splen­dor

Lord

Let pow­er at­tend Thy gra­cious word;

Unveil the beau­ties of Thy face

And show the glo­ries of Thy grace.

Diffuse Thy light and truth abroad

And be Thou known th’al­migh­ty God;

Make bare Thine arm

Thy pow­er dis­play

While truth and grace Thy scep­ter sway.

Send forth Thy mes­sen­gers of peace

Make Sa­tan’s reign and em­pire cease;

Let Thy sal­va­tion

Lord

be known

That all the world Thy pow­er may own.

Tho’ dark­ness o’er the earth per­vades

And men are plunged in dis­mal shades;

God will arise

at the set time

On Zion

with a light di­vine.

Then na­tions

with His grace re­plete

Shall spread their tro­phies at His feet;

Clothed with im­mor­tal bliss

to prove

The pow­er and great­ness of His love.

O may the tri­umphs of Thy grace

Abound

while right­eous­ness and peace

In mild and love­ly forms dis­play

The glo­ries of the lat­ter day.
