O Israel, arise! Lyrics: 1 Jehovah is thy God! O Israel, arise! Take up the battle cry—forgiveness through the blood; Let truth thy buckler be, and righteousness thy constant shield; Lift high the cross of Christ, where mercy is revealed. Refrain: Arise! arise! O Israel, arise! Jehovah still thy strength supplies, Revere His great and holy name, The wonders of His love proclaim, The glory of His endless fame: O Israel, arise! Arise! arise! O Israel, Jehovah still thy strength supplies! His love proclaim, Exalt His name, Arise! arise! 2 The Son of God commands! O Israel, arise! His chariot wheels are heard in earth’s remotest lands; The victory of faith to loyal hearts this day appears; Arise, and in His might shake off thy guilty fears. [Refrain] 3 The night approaches, too; O Israel, arise! The fruits of grace belong to soldiers brave and true; To reign with Christ for aye, arrayed in robes of stainless white, The crown of life the prize, for Children of the light. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Jehovah is thy God! O Israel, arise]
