Author: R. Walmsley Hymnal: The Service of Praise #21 (1900) First Line: Arise and Sing! On hope’s bright wing Refrain First Line: Then raise the song, the grand old song Lyrics: 1 Arise and Sing! On hope’s bright wing,
Send forth the blessed story,
That night shall go, and day shall grow
From glory unto glory.
Refrain:
Then raise the song, the grand old song,
That wrong shall triumph never;
That truth and right shall win the fight,
Since Christ is King forever.
2 The night of wrong has tarried long,
But see! The day is breaking;
And at the sign, and touch divine,
The world from sleep is waking. [Refrain]
3 The spreading light shall put to flight,
The things that hurt and grieve us;
And peace and love, from heav’n above,
Descend and never leave us. [Refrain]
4 Ye that are men, with tongue and pen,
Speed on the consummation;
And children, bring your songs and sing,
Of Christ, the world’s salvation. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Arise and Sing! On hope’s bright wing]
