Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #93 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Arise, shine out, your light has come,
unfolding City of our dreams.
On distant hills a glory gleams:
the new creation has begun.
2 Above earth's valleys, thick with night,
high on your walls the dawn appears,
and history shall dry its tears,
as nations stream towards your light.
3 From walls surpassing time and space,
unnumbered gates, like open hands,
shall gather gifts from all the lands,
and welcome all the human race.
4 The sounds of violence shall cease
as dwellings of salvation rise
to sparkle in eternal skies
from avenues of praise and peace.
5 The dancing air shall glow with light
and sun and moon give up their place
when Love shines out of every face:
our Good, our Glory, our Delight. Topics: Church Year Epiphany; Epiphany; Future hope; Light; Peace; The Third Sunday of Epiphany Year A; Canticles and Affirmations of Faith Scripture: Isaiah 60 Languages: English Tune Title: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT
