Hymns of the Lutheran Church

124 Arise, O God, and shine

1 Arise, O God, and shine, In all Thy saving might, And prosper each design To spread Thy glorious light: Let healing streams of mercy flow, That all the earth Thy truth may know. 2 Bring distant nations near, To sing Thy glorious praise; Let every people hear And learn Thy holy ways! Reign, mighty God, assert Thy cause, And govern by Thy righteous laws! 3 Put forth Thy glorious power, That Gentiles all may see, And earth present her store In converts born to Thee: God, our own God, His Church will bless, And fill the world with righteousness. 4 To God the only wise, The one immortal King, Let Hallelujahs rise From every living thing: Let all that breathe, on every coast, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
