Arise and Shine Forth MP3 Recording featuring vocals by Becki Madsen :   Hi-speed    Dialup    Download    CD: A Lamp to Light My Way MP3 accompaniment track :   Hi-speed    Dialup    Download    CD: A Lamp to Light My Way View/print sheet music:     Solo or Unison w/opt. harmonies for equal voices     SAB Mixed Chorus     Simplified Solo The SAB mixed chorus arrangement of this anthem is designed to be very easy to learn. The last chord divides the sopranos and the men, but otherwise the arrangement is mostly unison and two- or three-part. This song is my unofficial contribution to the 2006 LDS Mutual (youth program) theme, "Arise and shine forth that thy light may be a standard for the nations." It probably won't contribute to memorization since it isn't a verbatim scriptural setting, but I hope the young people will enjoy it. Lyrics: A glorious dawn o'er all the world is breaking Arise! you are called to bear the Savior's name The fire of His spirit in faithful hearts is burning Arise! you are called to hold aloft its flame Chorus: Arise and shine forth, a light unto the nations A beacon of salvation, a standard o'er the earth Arise and shine forth to fill a world in darkness With the brightness and the glory of the Lord Arise! Arise and shine forth A glorious dawn o'er all the world is breaking For prophets again have heard the voice of God He speaks from the heavens to every tongue and people Arise! you are called to spread his word abroad (Repeat chorus) A glorious dawn o'er all the world is breaking The hour is at hand when Christ will come to reign When goodness and mercy will govern all creation Arise! you are called to usher in the day (Repeat chorus)
