Lyics

ARISE, ye saints, arise!

The Lord our leader is:

The foe before his banner flies,

And vic-to-ry is his.



We soon shall see the day

When all our toils shall cease;

When we shall cast our arms away,

And dwell in endless peace.



This hope supports us here;

It makes our burdens light;

'Twill serve our drooping hearts to cheer,

Till faith shall end in sight:



Till, of the prize possessed,

We hear of war no more;

And ever with our Leader rest,

On yonder peaceful shore.
