Author: Ralph Wardlow, 1779-1853 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #497 (1986) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The New English Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Lord our God, arise!
The cause of truth maintain,
And wide o'er all the peopled world
Extend her blessed reign.
2 Thou Prince of life, arise!
Nor let thy glory cease;
Far spread the conquests of thy grace,
And bless the earth with peace.
3 O Holy Ghost, arise!
Spread forth thy quickening wing,
And o'er a dark and ruined world
Let light and order spring.
4 All on the earth, arise!
To God the Saviour sing;
From shore to shore, from earth to heaven
Let echoing anthems ring. Topics: Church and People The Kingdom of God; The Christian Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: WINDERMERE
O Lord our God, arise!
