263. O Jerusalem

1 O Jerusalem, get you out of the dust,
Arise and shine;
O Jerusalem, come and live in the light divine.

O Jerusalem, O Jerusalem,
Get you up, arise and shine!
O Jerusalem, O Jerusalem,
Come and walk in the light divine.

2 O Jerusalem, hear the voice of thy God
As He calls to thee:
O Jerusalem, now arise and be strong and free. [Refrain]

3 O Jerusalem, you're the salt of the earth
And the light of the world,
O Jerusalem,
let your banners be unfurled. [Refrain]

And serve the Lord;
O Jerusalem, come and walk in the Holy Word. [Refrain]
