Текст песни
Arise, shine for your light has come
Arise, shine for your light has come
When darkness as the night covers all the earth
The stars have all gone out and the breath it burns
With healing in his wings, he will rise and rise
A hope for all the nations…
The sun will no longer be your light by day
The brightness of the moon will pass away
To see by the one true, lasting light
Your faces will be radiant…
Arise, shine for your light has come
Arise, shine for your light has come
Though once they were scattered where the four winds blow
Your daughters and your sons will be brought back home
Your heart will go racing with a thrill of joy
A promise worth the waiting
The streets of the city will be filled with sound
And ships will come to trade, heavy laden clouds
They’ll come for your wisdom and to see your light
Eternal and unfading
Arise, shine for your light has come
Arise, shine for your light has come
Where once you were orphaned, I have called you mine
And you will bear a beauty refined by time
I’ll trade you a diamond for the gold you bring
A light for generations…
Wars will soon end, let the walls come down
Open up the gates, Praise, praise resound
Peace to replace every angry sword
Beholding it with patience
