1. Arise and shine, for the light is come to thee,
For the glory of the Lord is nigh;
Lift up thine eyes round about, and you will see
That the crowning day is coming by and by.
Refrain:
The crowning day is coming by and by,
When the Lord will come in glory from on high;
Then fight, fight, fight, in the battle for the right,
For the glory of the Lord is drawing nigh.
2. Arise and shine, for the day is dawning bright,
And the glory of the Lord is nigh;
Press on, on, on, in the battle for the right,
For the crowning day is coming by and by.
3. Arise and shine, let the world around you know
That the glory of the Lord is nigh;
In word and deed may you Christ to others show,
For the crowning day is coming by and by.
4. Arise and shine, for the King of Heaven’s come,
And the glory of the Lord is nigh;
Some day by faith we will reach that Heav’nly home,
In that crowning day that’s coming by and by.
