Arise, O Zion

Verse 1

Arise, O Zion! rise and shine, Behold thy light is come; The glorious conqu'ring King is near, To take his exiles home; His Spirit now is pouring out, To set poor captives free; The day of wonder now is come, The year of Jubilee.

Verse 2

The glorious gospel of the Lord, Is spreading far and near; And those who hear the quick'ning word, Are mov'd with godly fear; But soon they tell to all around, That Christ has set them free; The day of wonder now is come, The year of Jubilee.

Verse 3

Brave soldiers dear, pray don't you fear, Our Captain is above: Behold him stand at God's right hand, His bowels melt with love; O Christians, help to praise the Lamb, Who died for you and me; The day of wonder now is come, The year of Jubilee.

Verse 4

Methinks I hear the watchmen cry, O Zion now be bold; Ye saints, now raise your voices high, And sing, both young and old; The year of my redeem'd is come, To set poor sinners free; The day of wonder now is come, The year of Jubilee.
