Arise, Your Light Is Come!

1.  Arise, your light is come!
    The Spirit's call obey;
    Show forth the glory of your God,
    Which shines on you today.

2.  Arise, your light is come!
    Fling wide the prison door;
    Proclaim the captives' liberty,
    Good tidings to the poor.

3.  Arise, your light is come!
    All you in sorrow born,
    Bind up the broken-hearted ones
    And comfort those who mourn.

4.  Arise, your light is come!
    The mountains burst in song!
    Rise up like eagles on the wing;
    God's power will make us strong.
