ARISE, SHINE, FOR THY LIGHT IS COME
Jerusalem,
Thy King at length has come!
Lift up thy voice in song,
No more be dumb.
Happy Jerusalem!
Thy widowhood is done;
Thy mourning days are past,
Thy joy begun.
Thy King at length has come!
Lift up thy voice in song,
No more be dumb.
Happy Jerusalem!
Thy widowhood is done;
Thy mourning days are past,
Thy joy begun.
Zion, rejoice!
Thy glory now returns;
Thy God has come, no more
His anger burns.
City of cities thou!
What beauty shall be thine;
Joy of the blessed earth,
Arise and shine!
Thy glory now returns;
Thy God has come, no more
His anger burns.
City of cities thou!
What beauty shall be thine;
Joy of the blessed earth,
Arise and shine!

Peace, Salem, peace
Be now within thy gates!
To thee earth crowds; on thee
Its grandeur waits.
Thou holy mount of God!
From thee once more ascends
The incense-cloud, the song
That never ends.
Be now within thy gates!
To thee earth crowds; on thee
Its grandeur waits.
Thou holy mount of God!
From thee once more ascends
The incense-cloud, the song
That never ends.
