verse 1 There is a light that shines, into the darkest night It gives the blind eyes sight, Light of the world There is a light so clear, the nations will draw near All those who walked in fear, shall leap for joy Chorus 1 Arise and shine, for your light has come And the Glory of the Lord has risen in this place Arise and shine, for your light has come And the Glory of the Lord has risen in this place verse 2 There is a trumpet sound, echoes for miles around It’s when the church resounds, with holy praise There is a sound so clear, the nations will draw near All those who sowed in tears, shall reap in joy Chorus 2 Awake my soul, awake and sing That the glory of the Lord may cover all the earth Awake my soul, awake and sing That the glory of the Lord may cover all the earth
