Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Arise, O glorious Zion, Thou joy of latter days, Whom countless Saints rely on To gain a resting place. Arise and shine in splendor Amid the world’s deep night, For God, thy sure defender, Is now thy life and light.
2. From Zion’s favored dwelling The gospel issues forth, The covenant revealing To gather all the earth; And Saints, the message bringing To all the sons of men, With the redeemed shall, singing, To Zion come again.
3. Thru painful tribulation We walk the narrow road And battle with temptation To gain the blest abode. But patient, firm endurance, With glory in our view, The Spirit’s bright assurance Will bring us conq’rors through.
4. Oh, grant, Eternal Father, That we may faithful be, With all the just to gather, And thy salvation see! Then, with the hosts of heaven, We’ll sing th’immortal theme: To him be glory given Whose blood did us redeem.
