Out of dark­ness into light
Jesus calls the sons of night;
Out of mid­night into day
Jesus bids us come away.

Refrain

Arise and shine!
Thy light is come;
The glo­ry of the Lord
Is ris­en up­on our gloom.
Arise and shine!
Thy light is come,
The glo­ry of the Lord
Is ris­en up­on our gloom.

From the pri­son house of sin,
From the pow­er with­out, with­in,
From this mor­tal wea­ri­ness,
Jesus calls to joy and peace.

Refrain

From this world’s al­lur­ing snares,
From its per­ils and its cares;
From its va­ni­ty and strife,
Jesus beck­ons us to life.

Refrain

From the va­ni­ty of youth
Into rest and love and truth,
Into joy that ne­ver palls,
Jesus now in mer­cy calls.
