ARISE, REVIVAL RAINS DESCEND

1.The earth grows dark

Appalling gloom descends upon the earth

The sky grows dark

The rain-clouds black do gather in the sky

O Christian friend,

Look all around how evil grim abounds

Awake, O friend

Revival rains descend, the thunder sounds.


CHORUS


Let’s arise, let’s arise

Strong in the power of God,

Strike the foe, marching go,

Speak the Word abroad,

With the Fire, set afire,

All to shine for God,

Pressing on to glory, on to glory

On to victory.


2.The one who lays

The dear lives waste, is come before our face

The hail that preys

Upon lies comes upon their hiding place

O friend, beware

The wicked one is out your life to snare

Arise prepare

For show’rs that bring the pow’r dark sin to dare


3.Awake, O Zion

Shake off your dust, today your light is come

Arise and shine

The kings and men to you shall trembling come.

The end draws near

O friend, just hear the Lord from Zion you call

Decide, don’t fear

He holds you dear, O come forsaking all.
