Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
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 ev'ry people hear and learn thy holy ways.
Reign, mighty God, assert thy cause, and govern by thy righteous laws.
Put forth thy glorious pow'r that Gentiles all may see,
And earth present her store in converts born to thee.
O Lord, our God, thy Church so bless, and fill the world with righteousness.
To God, the only wise, the one immortal King,
Let hallelujahs rise from ev'ry living thing;
Let all that breathe, on ev'ry coast, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
On ev'ry coast, praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Amen!
VERSE 2
Rejoice, the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks and sing, and triumph evermore:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
The Lord, the Savior reigns, the God of truth and love;
When he had purged our stains, He took his seat above:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
His kingdom cannot fail, He rules o'er earth and heav'n;
The keys of death and hell to Christ the Lord are giv'n:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Rejoice in glorious hope! Our Lord and Judge shall come
And take his servants up to their eternal home:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Amen!
