1 Arise and shine! Your light has come as Christ dispels the night: all nations under heaven's dome shall cast away their deepening gloom to seek the Lord's great light, God's sunrise beaming bright. 2 Lift up your eyes around, and see as people come from far: and gladly crossing land and sea wise men with tribute there shall be, for truly wise they are as those who saw the star. 3 Yet richer frankincense and gold affirm the Saviour's praise: wherever Jesus' name is told new treasures now replace the old: God's love explores new ways and sets new hope ablaze. 4 Some worshipped once the child divine and saw the human face; some tasted water turned to wine, believed the word that gave the sign, and grew in every place as firstfruits of his grace. 5 So those whom God in Israel blessed, the first in Christ reborn, with joy shall welcome all the rest who come from north, south, east and west, by shining splendour drawn to greet the rising dawn.
