Text:	Arise, O Lord
Author:	William Hurn
Tune:	[Arise, O Lord, and shine]
Composer:	Robert Lowry

1 Arise, O Lord, and shine
In all Thy saving might,
And prosper each design
To spread Thy glorious light;
Let healing streams of mercy flow,
That all the earth Thy truth may know,
That all the earth Thy truth may know.

2 O bring the nations near,
That they may sing Thy praise;
Let all the people hear
And learn Thy holy ways;
Reign, mighty God, assert Thy cause,
And govern by Thy righteous laws,
And govern by Thy righteous laws.

3 Put forth Thy glorious power;
The nations then shall see,
And earth present her store
In converts born to Thee;
And God, our God, His church shall bless,
And earth be filled with righteousness,
And earth be filled with righteousness.
