The Lord shall give thee rest from the hard bondage.
Isaiah 14:3
Words: Fanny Crosby, in Welcome Tidings, by Robert Lowry, Howard Doane & Ira D. Sankey (New York: Biglow & Main, 1877), number 78.
Music: W. Howard Doane (🔊 pdf nwc).
Arise, come ye forth,
And forever break the chain,
That long had oppressed you
With sorrow and pain;
Arise, come ye forth,
Hear the blessèd Lord’s command,
And He Himself will guide you
With a strong, strong hand.
Refrain
Come forth, come forth,
And shout the jubilee,
Come forth, come forth,
The Lord will make you free;
Come forth from your bonds,
Hear the blessèd Lord’s command,
And He Himself will guide you
With a strong, strong hand.
Arise, come ye forth;
Will ye spend your life for naught,
When Jesus who loves you
A ransom has bought?
The price of His blood,
Receive it while you may;
Behold the promised time is now;
O come away.
Refrain
Arise, come ye forth,
And be slaves to sin no more,
How oft your deliv’rer
Has called you before;
Come forth from your bonds,
And your liberty receive;
Your willing hearts to Jesus give:
Repent, believe.
Refrain
