RISE, SHINE, FOR THY LIGHT IS A-COMING

 

O, rise ! shine ! for thy light s a-coming
Rise! Shine! For thy light is a-coming
O, rise ! shine ! for thy light s a-coming
My Lord says He’s coming by an’ by

This is the year of Jubilee
My Lord says He’s coming by an’ by
My Lord has set His people free
My Lord says He’s coming by an’ by

I’ntend to shout an’ never stop
My Lord says He’s coming by an’ by
Until I reach the mountain top
My Lord says He’s coming by an’ by

O wet and dry I’ntend to try
My Lord says He’s coming by an’ by
To serve the Lord until I die
My Lord says He’s coming by an’ by.
