Rise, Arise!

lyricist: Anna Hoppe, 1920
Composer: German, 1704

Rise

arise! Rise

arise!

Zion

rise to greet thy king!

Open wide the gates be­fore Him!

Let the glad ho­san­nas ring!

Haste to wor­ship and adore Him!

Hark

the watch­man on the mount­ain cries:

Rise

arise! Rise

arise!

Weep no more! Weep no more!

Zion

dry thy bit­ter tears!

Cast away all gloom and sad­ness

For the Shi­loh now ap­pears

Who shall turn thy grief to glad­ness!

Day has dawned! Arise! the night is o’er!

Weep no more! Weep no more!

O re­joice! O re­joice!

Christ doth come

as long fore­told!

The Mes­si­ah long ex­pect­ed

The in­car­nate Word be­hold!

Though by kings of earth re­ject­ed

Hail Him Lord of all with migh­ty voice!

O re­joice! O re­joice!

Crown Him king! Crown Him king!

His ex­alt­ed name con­fess!

From His heav­en­ly throne des­cend­ing

Jesus

Lord of right­eous­ness

Bringeth joy and peace un­end­ing!

O let heart and tongue His prais­es sing!

Crown Him king! Crown Him king!

Worship Him! Wor­ship Him!

Worship at His sac­red feet!

Hail the Son of God thy Sav­ior!

Haste

thy longed for Bride­groom greet!

Come

re­ceive His king­ly fa­vor!

Zion

haste thy lamp of faith to trim!

Worship Him! Wor­ship Him!
