Arise and shine for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has dawned upon you, / for behold dreary shadows cover the land, deep gloom enshrouds the peoples.
Amen, Come, Lord Jesus, Let Your Kingdom Come.
Amen, Come, Lord Jesus, Let Your Kingdom Come!
But over you the Lord will rise, and his glory will appear upon you. / Many nations will come to see your light, and kings to see the brightness of your dawning.
Amen, Come, Lord Jesus, Let Your Kingdom Come.
Amen, Come, Lord Jesus, Let Your Kingdom Come!
At ev’ry time people enter your gates, by day or night they will never be shut. / "City of the Lord" will be your name, "The Zion of the Holy One of Israel".
Amen, Come, Lord Jesus, Let Your Kingdom Come.
Amen, Come, Lord Jesus, Let Your Kingdom Come!
No evil deed will be known in your land, nobody will know of violence. / "Salvation” will you call your walls, and "Praise" will be the name of your portals.
Amen, Come, Lord Jesus, Let Your Kingdom Come.
Amen, Come, Lord Jesus, Let Your Kingdom Come!
You will not need the sun by day, nor do you require the moon by night, / for the Lord will be your eternal light, and God will be your glory.
Amen, Come, Lord Jesus, Let Your Kingdom Come.
Amen, Come, Lord Jesus, Let Your Kingdom Come!
