Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #179 (1997) Topics: Welcome / Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Arise, shine out, your light has come,
unfolding city of our dreams.
On distant hills a glory gleams:
the new creation has begun.
2 Above earth's valleys, thick with night,
high on your walls the dawn appears,
and history shall dry its tears,
as nations stream towards your light.
3 From walls surpassing time and space,
unnumbered gates, like open hands,
shall gather gifts from all the lands,
and welcome all the human race.
4 The sounds of violence shall cease,
as dwellings of salvation rise,
to sparkle in eternal skies
from avenues of praise and peace.
5 The dancing air shall glow with light
and sun and moon give up their place,
when love shines out of every face:
our good, our glory, our delight. Scripture: Isaiah 60 Languages: English Tune Title: VOM HIMMEL HOCH
