Sacred Hymns (Manchester Hymnal) (1840, 1912),
no. 20
Arise! arise! with joy survey
Arise! arise! with joy survey
1. Arise! arise! with joy survey
The glory of the latter-day:
Already has the dawn begun
Which marks at hand a rising sun.
2. Behold the way! ye heralds cry;
Spare not, but lift your voices high;
Convey the sound from pole to pole—
Glad tidings to the captive soul.
3. Behold the way to Zion’s hill,
Where Israel’s God delights to dwell;
He fixes there His lofty throne,
And calls the sacred place His own.
4. The north gives up; the south no more
Keeps back her consecrated store:
From east to west the message runs,
And either India yields her sons.
5. Auspicious dawn! thy rising ray
With joy we view, and hail the day:
Great Sun of Righteousness! arise,
And fill the world with glad surprise.
