HYMN 804

(FE 839)
Tune: Baba Mimo jowo gbogbo omo Re



1.  ARISE now and shine the bright and

     morning beam 

     Let Glory of God manifest in thee

     The darkness of sin hath be-clouded the earth 

     Beauty of the belov’d hath manifest.

Chorus: Come o! my friends, come and let's rejoice 

              Shout Hosanna to the Glorious King

              Our Eternal Rock of Ages 

              Thine promises Lord fulfill.


2.  The gentiles shall take refuge under

     thine light

     And all earthly kings shall bow unto Thee 

     Lift up your eyes and behold round

     about thee

     Render accounts of the star and blessings.

Chorus: Come o! my friends...


3.  The sons of the strangers shall build

     up thine walls

     And their Kings shall minister unto thee 

     All thine exactors shall be rendered

     to naught

     Mockers shall be rendered mute forever.

Chorus: Come o! my friends...


4.  The sun of thy grief shall ne'er 

     reveal its gleam

     The moon of thine wailing shall 

     cease to be

     I the Jehovah shall fulfill all my words 

     To enthrone in heaven above our King.

Chorus: Come o! my friends...


5.  This day l hath made thee choicest

     of fine gold

     And in thee my Holy strength abideth 

     Thou art releaved of the garment 

     soiled with stains

     Garment of glory is changeth for Thee.

Chorus: Come o! my friends, come and let's rejoice 

              Shout Hosanna to the Glorious King

              Our Eternal Rock of Ages 

              Thine promises Lord fulfill.  Amen
