Arise
come ye forth
And forever break the chain
That long had oppressed you
With sorrow and pain;
Arise
come ye forth
Hear the blessèd Lord’s command
And He Himself will guide you
With a strong
strong hand.
Come forth
come forth
And shout the jubilee
Come forth
come forth
The Lord will make you free;
Come forth from your bonds
Hear the blessèd Lord’s command
And He Himself will guide you
With a strong
strong hand.
Arise
come ye forth;
Will ye spend your life for naught
When Jesus who loves you
A ransom has bought?
The price of His blood
Receive it while you may;
Behold the promised time is now;
O come away.
Arise
come ye forth
And be slaves to sin no more
How oft your deliv’rer
Has called you before;
Come forth from your bonds
And your liberty receive;
Your willing hearts to Jesus give:
Repent
believe.
