O Church of God, arise!
Reach out thy helping hand,
And like a trumpet let thy voice
Go forth to ev’ry land;
Lay not thine armor down,
Nor cease by day or night,
To lift the sword of Gospel truth,
And wield it for the right.
Then arise in thy glory,
O Church of God, arise!
’Tis the dawn of the morrow
that greets thy waiting eyes
But cloud and mist and shadow
must all be rolled away.
But cloud and mist and shadow
must all be rolled away.
Before the world will usher in
the long expected day.
O Church of God, arise!
Thy borders wide extend,
And o’er the earth’s remotest bounds
Thy heralds quickly send;
Thine armies now are great,
But greater they must be,
For ev’ry nation, ev’ry clime
Shall yet rejoice in thee.
Then arise in thy glory,
O Church of God, arise!
’Tis the dawn of the morrow
that greets thy waiting eyes
But cloud and mist and shadow
must all be rolled away.
But cloud and mist and shadow
must all be rolled away.
Before the world will usher in
the long expected day.
O Church of God, arise!
The grand old choral strain
Of peace on earth, good will to man,
That rang on Judah’s plain,
O’er all the world shall ring,
And echo far and wide,
And then the King, thy Lord, shall come,
And claim His faithful bride.
Then arise in thy glory,
O Church of God, arise!
’Tis the dawn of the morrow
that greets thy waiting eyes
But cloud and mist and shadow
must all be rolled away.
But cloud and mist and shadow
must all be rolled away.
Before the world will usher in
the long expected day.
