[MUSIC - "ARISE, O GLORIOUS ZION"]

(SINGING) Arise O glorious Zion, the joy of latter days, Whom countless saints rely on to gain a resting place. Arise and shine in splendor amid the world's deep night, For God thy sure defender is now thy life and light.

From Zion's favored dwelling the gospel issues forth, The covenant revealing to gather all the earth, And saints, the message bringing to all the sons of men, With the redeemed shall, singing, to Zion come again.

Through painful tribulation, we walk a narrow road, And battle with temptation to gain the blessed abode, But patient, firm endurance with glory in our view, The Spirit's bright assurance will bring us conquerors through.

Oh, grant, Eternal Father that we may faithful be, With all the just to gather and Thy salvation see, That with the hosts of heaven we'll sing the immortal theme, To Him be glory given, whose blood did us redeem.

Arise, O glorious Zion, thou joy of latter days.
