The Glory of Zion

Arise and shine for now thy light is come

Author: Ruth E. Winterton
Published in 1 hymnal


Representative Text

1 Arise and shine for now thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is near
Behold the darkness covers all the earth
His glory shall on thee appear
Behold the darkness covers all the earth
His glory shall on thee appear.

2 And Gentiles all shall come unto the light
And kings thy brightness in that day
Lift up thine eyes and see them gathering
Thy sons and daughters far away
Lift up thine eyes and see them gathering
Thy sons and daughters far away.

3 For violence shall no more be heard in thee
Nor waste, destruction in thy gates
The sun shall be no more thy light by day
But the Lord thine everlasting light
The sun shall be no more thy light by day
But the Lord thine everlasting light.

4 The people all shall live in righteousness
The land be theirs for aye a sign
A little one shall be a thousand
The Lord will hasten in his time
A little one shall be a thousand
The Lord will hasten in his time.

5 Arise and shine for now thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is near
And all the nations shall flow unto thee
Zion, the hope of all the years
And all the nations shall flow unto thee
Zion, the hope of all the years.
