Arise, shine, for the Light of the

Arise, shine, for the Light of the World has come!

Darkness covers the earth and its people,

but the radiance of God's Light

burns away its shadows,

illuminates the smallest corner,

and heralds in the start

of a new dawn,

where hearts no longer fear,

souls might be set free,

and sister shall follow brother,

nation shall follow nation,

and kings and princes bow down in awe

before the one who comes to reign.

Arise, shine, for the Light of the World has come!

Alleluia!
