Lyrics:

1. Arise, arise: shine. Awake, arise, your light is come; behold, darkness has covered the earth, and thick darkness its people.

2. But God arose: see. Awake, arise, God's glory shines in you, glory the nations will know, in you, brightness arising.

3. O lift your eyes: see. O raise your eyes. Look up and see! Raise your eyes; look up and see!

4. Arise, arise, o see the people find God's glory. Arise, awake, the Glory of the Lord within you. Awake, awake, arise.
