Arise, shine, for thy light is come by George J. Elvey — Lyrics
Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee.

About Arise, shine, for thy light is come
George J. Elvey's Arise, shine, for thy light is come is a SATB anthem for mixed choir. The text is drawn from the Book of Isaiah, depicting a powerful vision of spiritual renewal and divine radiance. It speaks of darkness giving way to light, with the glory of the Lord appearing and drawing peoples and nations towards its brightness.
The music is designed to reflect this uplifting message, likely with a majestic and expansive character suited to its sacred, liturgical context. This setting would serve as a stirring call to acknowledge and embrace the arrival of divine light and its transformative power.
