Isaiah 59: Arise, and shine with borrow'd rays

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Arise, and shine with borrow'd rays,
Bright in reflected lustre shine,
Thy Light is come, the Sun of grace
Appears in majesty Divine,
Jesus, that uncreated Sun
Is risen, on His church to stay,
To make through thee His glory known.
The glory of eternal day.
