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.
