Arise, O Zion

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.

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.

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.

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.
