Arise

Can a land be made to bring forth in one day? Can a nation be born at once? "Thus says Adonai Who gives the sun for light by day And the fixed order of the moon and the star's light by night Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar Adonai Tzevaot, the Lord of Hosts, is His name "If this fixed order departs From before me," declares the Lord "Then the offspring of Israel also will cease From being a nation before Me forever" Arise Israel and shine Arise, Arise and shine For your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you From ashes to glory God changed your story the nations will join to worship Adonai with you The children of Rachel shall return No one can frustrate God's rescue plan He will bring them back one by one Arise, arise and shine For your light has come and the glory of the Lord, is risen upon you Give thanks to the Lord for He is good His mercy will forever endure (blessed be the God of Israel) What nation on earth is like Israel? That God redeemed for himself from that furnace that once burned An army rose to overcome I will forgive all their sins I will bless their offspring, all dispersed from the nations Will come to Worship the King Arise, arise and shine Your light has come and the glory of the Lord, is risen upon you From ashes to glory God changed your story the nations will join to worship Adonai The children of Rachel shall return no one can frustrate God's rescue plan The nations will join you as one new man
