lyrics

Rise, O Salem, rise and shine
Lo, the gentiles hail thy waking
Herald of a morn divine,
See the Dayspring o’er us breaking
Telling God hath called to mind
Those who long in darkness pined

O how blindly we did stray
Ere this Sun our earth had brightened
Heaven we sought not, for no ray
Had our wildered eyes enlightened
All our looks were earthward bent
All our strength on earth was spent

But the Dayspring from on high
Hath arisen with beams unclouded
And we see before Him fly
All the heavy gloom that shrouded
This sad earth, where sin and woe
Seemed to reign o’er all below

Thine appearing, Lord, shall fill
All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour
Thine appearing, Lord, shall still
All my dread of death’s dark power
Whether joys or tears be mine
Through them still Thy light shall shine
